A beautiful leaded glass table lamp produced by Tiffany Studios circa 1910. The 22" shade features peonies in rich shades of reds, pinks, and magentas. The flowers are accompanied by streaked and mottled green foliage in the upper two thirds of the shade, which progresses to wonderful mottled and stippled lighter green and yellow glass towards the bottom of the shade. The complex, multi-colored background glass is streaked with reds and purples, creating the suggestion of additional peonies in the distance. The pattern is completed by a green geometric row at the aperture, and at the bottom, three geometric rows of yellow and green tiles, the lower two with a classic rippled texture. The shade is in excellent condition with just a small number of tight and stable heat cracks. There are three flower petals that contain a small crack that has been tightened up with a thin lead line. The shade is signed on the inside rim "Tiffany Studios New York". The shade sits atop a bronze Tiffany Studios telescopic "Chased Pod" library base. It is finished in a rich brown patina with subtle verdigris accents. As pictured the base stands 28" to the top of the shade rest, with the ability to be raised or lowered. The 6-socket base is signed on the underside base plate "Tiffany Studios New York", and also features the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company logo, as well as two sets of 5 digit numbers (numbers are not legible). The base is in excellent condition with no cracks, dents, or visible repairs, and negligible loss to the finish. The heat cap appears to be a contemporary replacement.
