Frequently Asked Questions
  • How is the glass shade held in place?
    This model features an internal double spring "butterfly" clip mechanism rather than external screws. To remove the shade for cleaning or bulb changes, you simply pinch the metal clips together.
  • What kind of bulb does this lamp take?
    It uses a standard small-base candelabra bulb (E12 base, usually 15 to 25 watts).
  • Can I use an LED bulb in this lamp?
    Yes. Any standard candelabra-base LED bulb will work perfectly.
  • Is the green color on the base damage?
    No. The green coloration is a natural patina finish built into the metal to give the lamp its vintage, aged look.
  • Is this an original or reproduction?                                                                                                                                                               The Original Design (1902): The "Pond Lily" lamp layout was originally created by Tiffany Studios New York at the turn of the 20th century. True originals from that era are incredibly rare museum pieces; one famously sold at a Christie's auction for over $3.3 million. This Meyda Lamp (1990s–Present): Was made by Meyda Tiffany,  a legitimate, highly respected American lighting manufacturer founded in the 1970s. They built their reputation by creating authorized, high-end replicas of those historic museum designs using the exact same mouth-blown glass and copper-foil soldering techniques that Louis Comfort Tiffany invented.
