I've been looking for a Tiffany Style lamp to use in my 1920s Bungalow for a few years now. Finally settled on this lamp, and was nervous about the purchase since there were no other reviews. If I had seen the lamp in person before purchase, I would've taken a closer look, and most likely passed due to the materials used even though I like the look, and from afar you can't really tell it's not glass, I was looking for something more high quality and thought the price range insured higher quality materials than were used.
Shade coloring was same as image. The bottom of the shade is a deep purplish color, background is a yellow/beige, leaves are green, berries are goldish/red/brownish...they vary. Base is a antiqued oil rubbed bronze coloring. Shade isn't glass as it's described, it's more of a plexiglass/painted plastic (guess that's the how you define "art glass"), and based on weight and texture I'm not sure it's soldering not sure what it's made of. I really like the look of the shade, but I'm very disappointed that it's not actual glass. Again, I'm also disappointed in the price considering the quality of the materials...for that price, I expected a true stained glass shade.
The packaging was awful. I was really nervous when I first saw it because the box was torn in several places, and I was worried the glass would be cracked...explains why it didn't have a fragile sticker on it. The styrofoam packaging was completely crumbling apart, and the cardboard box easily ripped when I was handling it. If I decide to return it, I'm concerned the box won't be sturdy enough.
Again, based on the price, had much higher expectations.
