There are a lot of collectors out there who enjoys exploring the colors, patterns, textures and types of glass made from Tiffany glass. According to history, the name of the Tiffany lamps came from a man named Louis Comfort Tiffany. He was one of the foremost decorative artists of his time. His father was the co-founder of Tiffany and Company, the luxury retailer best known for fine silver and jewelry. At an early age Tiffany was exposed to superbly-designed and expertly-crafted objects d’art, undoubtedly stimulating his love and appreciation for exceptional objects and setting him on a self-proclaimed “quest of beauty.”
Among the various decorative objects produced at Tiffany Studios, the factory manufactured an extensive range of lamp shades, mostly in floral and geometric motifs. More than 300 designs were available in the 1906 and 1913 Tiffany Studios catalogues, including Peony, Poppy, Daffodil, Dragonfly, Laburnum, Magnolia, Pond Lily, Poinsettia, Roman, Venetian, and Lotus Leaf. With that being said, check out the 15 Lovely Tiffany Lamps be have below.

We’re a bit confused about this lamp because it does not have a sunflower design in the shade but it was named after one. It still has a red-orange colored flower on the detail though, the shape of the shade and the body is sleek and slender.
Dogwood

The shade is comprised of white dogwood blossoms with green leaves and yellow centers against a sky blue confetti glass ground. The carefully applied confetti glass, a band of mottled green glass, and the rare irregular border give the lamp added luminescence and delicacy, as if it were made from real dogwood blossoms.
