Lot 351: A Collection of Art Glass Fluted Tulip Light Shades
A collection of seven hand-blown art glass light shades, comprising two distinct sets. The first set consists of four shades crafted in opalescent white glass with a frosted finish. These feature a pulled feather decoration in a vibrant pink tone extending from the ruffled, six-pointed scalloped rims toward the body. The second set consists of three shades in translucent amber-yellow glass, transitioning into an emerald green hue at the fluted, ruffled rims. Both sets are designed in the Art Nouveau style with a slender, trumpet-shaped form and a flared, organic floral rim. Each shade terminates in a narrow, unthreaded glass collar intended for mounting into a standard gallery or socket holder. There are no maker’s marks, signatures, or factory labels visible on the glass. Several adhesive inventory stickers are present on the exterior surfaces of the shades.
Condition report:
The shades appear to be in good overall condition. The delicate ruffled rims are largely intact across all seven pieces, with no significant chips or cracks visible in the primary photograph. There is some minor surface residue and dark grime visible on the ruffled edge of the middle amber shade. The fitting collars show no major damage, though minor surface abrasions consistent with contact with metal gallery screws are visible upon close inspection.
