The Mission Lamp is an important introduction for us just as it was for Tiffany himself. The colored glass is more uniform, and the design is judiciously played out with the formation of the many pieces of glass, creating an effect impossible to achieve in any other manner. This lamp is an advanced example of the geometric shade and is extraordinary in charm and grace. The glass is in the earthy hue,s speckled with brown and intermingled with some white areas. In reflected light, the shade casts a subtle hue. This is important to decorators since this design can serve to coordinate all the colors in a room. This intriguing lamp appears subdued in daylight and dominates the scene after dark.
