Authentic Tiffany Lamps - Big Things Can Come In Small Packages!

Most people who collect or study authentic Tiffany Studios lamps are accustomed to seeing the leaded shade lamps which measure approximately 16-24 inches in diameter. They are most commonly seen in Tiffany's table lamps, hanging shades and floor lamps.

Tiffany Studios also made a more limited number of leaded "miniature" and small shaded lamps. Tiffany produced small desk and boudoir non-leaded shade lamps that are no more than 5 -6 inches in diameter which are fairly common Fortunately, they also made leaded shades which had shades that were only about 10-14 inches in diameter.

While the small non-leaded lamps are worth much less money the small leaded shade lamps are worth as much or much more than a large leaded 16 - 20 inch shaded lamps, due to the rarity of their size and the smaller quantity of them originally made. I find the miniature leaded glass lamp shades amazing in their delicacy, and of course very desirable due to their small size. 

Here are photos of three more commonly found (and very sought after) small leaded shade authentic Tiffany lamps:

Above is a very desirable and rare Tiffany Studios miniature "Wisteria" lamp which has only a 10 inch diameter shade. Some call these "Pony Wisterias."

Above we see a lovely, colorful "Venetian" small shaded Tiffany Studios lamp with a small 13 inch shade.

A fine example of a Tiffany Studios miniature "Dragonfly" lamp above with a 14 inch shade.

Authentic Tiffany lamps are all lovely, no matter what the shade size. 

There is, in my opinion, and the opinion of others, an added quality and appeal to diminutive leaded shade lamps which Tiffany produced in likewise small quantities.

More to come...
