Lampshade, 1900-1920

Summary

Art Glass is ornamental and decorative glass dating from the mid-to-late 19th century through the early 20th century.

This is most famously seen in the iridescent surfaces of Louis Comfort Tiffany and his contemporaries, although Art Glass took many shapes and forms.
