Condition Report*: Shade: The domical shade features opalescent dogwood blossoms, some in ripple glass, nestled amongst verdant foliage executed in rich apple greens streaked with blue, set against a background of confetti glass of blue-grey with flecks of olive and terracotta. Approximately 10-12 tiles with tight, stable hairlines scattered throughout, a low number for a shade of this complexity. A strong example of this pattern, with varied and artistic glass selection. Aperture measuring 3-3/4 inches in diameter.

Base: Wheatley Pottery matte green buttress base with restoration to feet and mid-body, unsigned. Green coloring and rounded, organic form complement the shade, creating an overall pleasant, naturalistic display. Later hardware with four light sockets; later heat cap, with a scratch to one side.
Heritage does not guarantee the working order or overall completeness of electrified lighting.
