1970s Aqua Tone ‘Lily Pad’ Art Glass Lamp by Richard Harkness
$850.00Studio glass lamp with original shade made by renowned glass blower, Richard Harkness (New Hampshire, USA, circa 1970s). Harkness’s work can be seen in a number of prestigious galleries and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Additionally, he was formerly a professor of glassblowing at Haystack Mountain School of Arts.
Harkness’s lamps are scarcely seen. This particular art glass lamp in the ‘lily pad’ pattern features a dense swirl motif throughout. The aqua-tone blown glass finial and floral shade are both original to the piece. The glass shows age-expected wear but is free of chips and cracks.
Artist’s etched signature present on the underside.
Measures: Height glass base only 8″
Height to top of socket 13″
Height to top of finial 20.75″
Diameter of base 9.5″
Diameter of shade 14.25″.
