A beautiful example of a three-light lily with pulled feather shades produced by Tiffany Studios. The delicate lily shades are of the classic pulled feather motif. Streaky green near the fitter end give way to soft cream tones with subtle iridescence towards the mouth. All three shades are wonderfully matched in color, size and form, each with moderate ruffling at the mouth. Each shade is signed "L.C.T." tightly under the rim of the fitter end. The shades are in excellent condition, free of any cracks, breaks, repairs or chips. One shade exhibits a small black burn mark on the inside surface near the fitter end. This was most likely caused by a hot light bulb pressed against the glass. The mark is not visible when the shade is placed in the socket. The shades are 4 - 1/2” in length and measure approximately 2 - 3/4” in diameter across the mouths. The base is a Tiffany Studios bronze patinated three-light lamp. It measures 16 - 1/2” to the top of the hook. It is finished in a bronze-brown frog skin patina. The base retains three porcelain Bryant sockets. It is signed to the underside base plate "Tiffany Studios New York 306". The base is in very good condition with no breaks, dents or visible repairs. There is some loss to the finish, with visible flaking to the central arm, and some oxidation to the base plate.
Condition: (Excellent).
