Features
① Calla lily floral theme, elegant and uncommon
The shade takes the white calla lily as its theme, which in itself gives the piece beautifully drawn lines.
The slender, pared-down form of the calla lily echoes the upward-sweeping curve of the lamp itself, so the overall effect is not like the usual elaborate classical lighting, but instead carries an elegant, quiet artistic air.
② Blue-green stained art glass
The shade is assembled from many pieces of glass in different tones and textures — white, blue, deep blue, blue-green, and glass with iridescent shifts can all be seen. Dark leading divides the glass into plant-like compositions, giving a very pronounced stained glass effect.
③ Beautiful Art Nouveau curves
Look closely at the lamp's outline and you will find almost no rigid straight lines. The slender stem curves upward from the base, then lets the shade fall naturally downward, the whole forming a line like the growth of a plant's stem and leaves.
This is precisely one of its most charming qualities.
④ Bronze-toned base with relief decoration
The base is not a plain flat design but carries three-dimensional radiating ribs and encircling plant-form decoration, so the lamp remains decorative even when unlit. The metal surface currently shows a subdued antique bronze tone that pairs well with the blue-green glass.
⑤ The original Japanese specification label is worth keeping
The original specification label on the underside reads: 100V / E26 / 60W × 1. We suggest not peeling off labels like this that have survived on an old lamp; for collectors, these inconspicuous little details are often among the most interesting parts of an older piece.
⑥ 39 cm high — a very easy size to place
At 39 cm it is neither overly large nor a night light without presence. On a bedside table, side table, entry cabinet, desk, old wooden cabinet or display case, it makes a very attractive focal point.
