The leaded glass shades at Tiffany Studios shared many of the same designs with the firm's windows. This gourd shade recalls windows made over two decades earlier for the George Kemp House in New York City and for Tiffany's own home at the Bella Apartments. The Root base was one of Tiffany Studios' successful Art Nouveau designs.
