Lamp Shade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts the Lamp Shade by artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. The shade is made of glass and has a rounded dome shape with a flat base. The glass is semi-transparent with a smooth, glossy finish. The shade has a circular metal piece on top with three small knobs. There are small dark spots and marks on the glass surface. The bottom edge of the shade has a thin metal rim. A small piece of tape with numbers is attached to the front of the rim. The background is a plain light-colored surface with a slight shadow behind the shade.
