Many of Tiffany's lamp designs were adaptations of motifs from Tiffany's windows. The spring flowers wisteria, magnolia, and peony were among his favorites. The peony is seen here in a profusion of blossoms, which vary slightly in color around the lamp in hues ranging from pale pink to deep red amidst verdant leafy foliage. The size and shape of the individual pieces of glass mimic the actual petals and leaves of the flower itself.
