The wisteria vine, native to North America and incomparably
ornamental, is one of the best-known and cherished Tiffany designs.
Individual blossoms within each cluster mature at different times,
lower blossoms open and mature earlier than those higher on the
cluster, and adjoining clusters may mature at different times.
This diversity within the plant allows the craftsperson endless
possibilities for subtle yet definite color combinations to exist
within and between the spectacular long lilac-blue, pea-like
clusters of flowers. This lamp is a composite reproduction of original miniature Wisteria Tiffany lamps as pictured in Dr. Neustadt's book "The Lamps of Tiffany" and has three repeats, with the same overall dimensions, pattern repeats and intricate detail as the originals. Antique Tiffany style lamps were constructed of dense opalescent
stained glass that masks the light source and shows color by
reflected light when the light is turned off.

Glass Crafting, an illustrated guide to the foil and solder
method. Booklet is printed on letter size pages that are punched
for a 3-ring binder. Retail Price $10. |
