Gallery Label
The uncharacteristic color scheme of this shade, particularly the bright blue used in the border, is just one clue that this is not a product of Tiffany Studios. As in this example, a Tiffany Studios signature tag is not necessarily proof of authenticity.
Due to ongoing research, information about this object is subject to change.
