LEADED BLUEBELL & IRIS FLOOR LAMP. From the contemporary studio of glass artist Joseph Porcelli, 24″ diameter leaded glass “Bluebell and Iris” lamp on a bronze onion style floor base. The dome shaped lamp depicts a non-repeating design composed of three major clusters of light to dark, bluish purple and lavender bluebell flowers accented by groupings of bearded iris blossoms. The bluebell clusters are rendered in all stages of the bluebell’s life cycle from early bloom to maturity, while the larger iris blooms, fashioned from multicolored art glass emphasizing their strong hues and striking patterns, rise from within the bluebell design. All blossoms sit on a bed of variegated green leaves. The entire composition is enclosed in a background glass that transitions from mid yellow at the aperture of the shade to a darker green at its textured brown-green border. The bronze pedestal floor base, accented by an onion shaped orb where is meets the bottom of the shade is finished in a rich brownish-red patina, as are the decorative finial and the metal surfaces of the lamp. Shade is signed on its interior at the aperture as well as at the bottom border “Joseph Porcelli”. The bronze base is impressed on the bottom plate “JP-60-200”. SIZE: Shade is 24″ dia. Lamp is approx. 65″ t. CONDITION: Very good to excellent. 5-63989 (18,000-20,000)
