A gorgeous double poinsettia leaded glass lamp on a bronze arch and leaf base. While both shade and base are signed, we suspect both to be extraordinarily high quality, American reproductions, and are therefore listing them as such. The base is a massive bronze base with the Tiffany Studios, Arch and Leaf design. The base sits on 12 bronze "feet" and has a base plated that is signed, "Tiffany Studios New York 542". The base is finished in a beautiful red-brown patina with verdigris accents. It stands 29 - 1/2" to the top of the shade rest. There is a six-socket cluster, and the sockets have GECO bakelite paddles. The base is in excellent condition, with just a few minor spots of wear to the patina, on the foot of the base. No cracks or deformities to the body of the base, or sockets. The base comes with a heat cap, which appears to be correctly acid etched, rather than punched. The leaded glass shade is of the Tiffany Studios Double Poinsettia pattern. The 22 - 1/2" diameter shade features two rows of beautiful poinsettias with leaves of red, pink, purple, orange, yellow, and brown, with yellow centers. These are surrounded by leaves of green, with streaks of reds and browns. Vertical and horizontal geometric rows of brown and yellow mottled glass, crisscross the shade. This is all set against a background of mottled and stippled blue and green glass. The shade is in excellent condition, with no missing or loose pieces of glass, with just a few tight and stable hairline cracks. Shade has a prominent "rattle" when rim is tapped. Shade is signed "Tiffany Studios New York 1551".
