Inspired by the Legendary Tiffany Studios Pond Lily Lamp
This exceptional table lamp draws inspiration from the celebrated Pond Lily lamp created by Tiffany Studios around 1903—one of the rarest and most valuable designs in the history of decorative lighting.
The original Pond Lily design was produced for only a brief period, from approximately 1902 to 1906. Its shade depicts pond lily stems, leaves and blossoms floating upon water, while the sculptural base continues the same natural theme, creating a remarkable harmony between glass and metalwork.
In 2018, an outstanding original example sold at Christie's New York for US$3,372,500, establishing a world auction record for a Tiffany Studios lamp at that time. Christie's praised its exceptional artistic glass selection, beautifully aged bronze patina, and the remarkable harmony between its shade and sculptural base. The same lamp had previously sold at Christie's in 1989 for US$550,000.
Joanne Tiffany Signature Collection
Pond Lily–Inspired Solid Bronze Table Lamp
Created as a tribute to this legendary Tiffany Studios masterpiece, our Signature Collection edition combines a richly detailed handcrafted stained-glass shade with an impressive solid bronze base.
The shade features cascading vertical panels of blue, violet and amber art glass above a garden of luminous flowers, leaves and jewel-like accents. When illuminated, the carefully selected glass reveals extraordinary depth, colour variation and warmth.
Beneath the shade, the sculptural solid bronze base is decorated with overlapping pond lily pads, curling stems and emerging leaves. The botanical details visually continue the floral composition of the shade, creating the same artistic harmony between glass and bronze that made the original Pond Lily lamp one of the most celebrated Tiffany designs ever produced.
Unlike ordinary Tiffany-style lamps made with resin or zinc-alloy bases, this Signature Collection piece features a substantial solid bronze construction, providing exceptional durability, authentic character and an heirloom-quality presence.
Pre-Order Only
This lamp is available exclusively by pre-order.
Each Signature Collection lamp is individually handcrafted rather than mass produced.
Every piece of stained glass is carefully hand-selected by our artisans to achieve the most harmonious balance of colour, texture and light. The shade is then assembled using the traditional Tiffany copper-foil technique by highly experienced craftsmen whose skills have been refined over many years.
Because of its extraordinary complexity, this shade is constructed from approximately 1,520 individually cut pieces of stained glass and 80 hand-soldered decorative glass jewels. Every glass piece must be precisely shaped, wrapped in copper foil and soldered entirely by hand.
The production process requires considerable time, patience and craftsmanship, making this one of the most intricate lamps in the Joanne Tiffany Signature Collection. For this reason, production is intentionally limited and each lamp is made only after an order is placed.

Handcrafted Art Nouveau Stained Glass Masterpiece
Brand new and exquisitely handcrafted, this Tiffany style lamp is a true work of art inspired by the elegance of the Art Nouveau movement. Designed using genuine hand-rolled art stained glass, each shade follows the original copper foil technique developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany over 100 years ago.
Every individual piece of glass is carefully cut using precision stencils, hand-polished, wrapped in fine copper foil, and then meticulously soldered together by hand. This traditional process creates a detailed glass mosaic, giving each lamp its distinctive shape and stunning variation in colour.
Depending on the design complexity, up to 100 hours of skilled craftsmanship can go into producing a single lamp. Because of this handmade process, no two pieces are ever exactly alike — making each lamp a unique collectible keepsake.

If you are seeking refined craftsmanship, timeless design, and a statement lighting piece, this Tiffany style lamp is a stunning addition to your home.
1. Are your Tiffany lamps made of real glass?
Yes. Our Tiffany-style lamps are crafted from 100% genuine handcrafted stained glass.
Each individual piece of glass is carefully hand-cut, wrapped in copper foil, and soldered together using the traditional technique developed over 100 years ago. This artisan process ensures authenticity, durability, and timeless beauty.
We never use plastic, resin, or acrylic materials.
2. When I tap the shade, it doesn’t sound like glass. How can I tell it’s not plastic?
A flat, uncut sheet of glass produces a clear “ting” sound. However, once the glass is cut into many small pieces and assembled using copper foil and solder on a mould, its acoustic properties change.
The finished shade produces a softer “thud” sound. This is completely normal for genuine handcrafted stained glass and does not indicate plastic. The visible solder lines, weight, and texture confirm authentic glass craftsmanship.
3. Why are there bubbles, colour variations, or texture differences in the glass? Are these defects?
No. These are natural characteristics of handmade stained glass.
Small air bubbles, subtle tonal variations, and slight differences in thickness occur during the traditional glassmaking process. These features enhance depth and individuality, ensuring that no two lamps are ever exactly alike.
This uniqueness is part of the enduring charm of Tiffany-style lighting.
4. Why does the lamp look different when turned on?
Stained glass transforms under light. When illuminated, colours appear richer, warmer, and more vibrant as light passes through the glass.
When turned off, the tones appear deeper and more subdued. This beautiful transformation is one of the defining characteristics of authentic Tiffany-style lamps.
5. Do the colours fade over time?
No. The colour in stained glass is infused during the glass-making process — it is not painted on the surface.
With normal indoor use, the colours will remain vibrant for many years.
6. What type of bulb should I use?
We recommend using a warm white LED bulb (2700K–3000K) to enhance the depth and warmth of the stained glass colours.
LED bulbs are energy-efficient and generate less heat, helping preserve the lamp over time.
7. Are your lamps compliant with Australian safety standards?
Yes. All electrical components and lamp bases are manufactured in accordance with Australian safety requirements.
Each lamp is fully assembled, tested, and inspected prior to dispatch to ensure safe and reliable use in Australian homes.
8. Will every lamp look exactly the same?
No. Because each lamp is handcrafted using natural stained glass, slight variations in colour, pattern placement, or texture may occur.
This guarantees that your lamp is a unique decorative art piece — not a mass-produced item.
9. How fragile are Tiffany lamps?
While stained glass should be handled with care, Tiffany lamps are designed for everyday household use.
The copper foil and soldered construction creates a strong and structurally secure shade once assembled.
10. How are the lamps packaged?
Each lamp is carefully and securely packaged using protective materials to prevent movement and damage during transit.
We take great care to ensure safe delivery Australia-wide.
11. Why are Tiffany-style lamps more valuable than standard lamps?
Tiffany-style lamps require intensive hand craftsmanship, often involving dozens or even hundreds of individual glass pieces.
Depending on complexity, a single lamp can take many hours to complete.
Unlike standard lighting, a Tiffany lamp is both illumination and decorative art — a timeless statement piece that elevates any space.
12. Are your lamps original Tiffany lamps made by Tiffany Studios 100 years ago?
No. Our lamps are not antique originals produced by Tiffany Studios over 100 years ago.
Original Louis Comfort Tiffany lamps are rare historical collectibles that command extremely high prices at international auctions.
Our lamps are high-quality Tiffany-style reproductions inspired by this iconic Art Nouveau tradition. They are handcrafted using genuine stained glass and traditional techniques, allowing you to enjoy the timeless beauty of Tiffany-style lighting in a modern home.
13. Why do you use the term “Tiffany lamp” or “Tiffany-style lamp”?
Due to the significant artistic influence of Louis Comfort Tiffany on stained glass lighting design, the terms “Tiffany lamp” and “Tiffany-style lamp” have become widely used within the lighting industry to describe lamps crafted using the traditional copper foil stained glass technique.
In modern usage, these terms refer to a design style and construction method rather than exclusively to products made by the original Tiffany Studios.
Our lamps are independently handcrafted Tiffany-style designs created using this traditional method. They are not produced by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Tiffany Studios.
