appears to be in generally good condition; the shade appears to be essentially "in the round," i.e., 24 1/2 inches across in one direction and 24 1/4 inches across the opposite direction); the individual green tiles that comprise the majority of the shade and the amber colored narrow band that appears above the curtain border appear to be in generally good, undamaged condition; some of these tiles probably do have some hairline cracks, however, they were not immediately observable; approximately seven of the larger horizontal tiles that comprise the curtain border have cracks, including three adjacent tiles; there did not appear to be any immediate observable restoration/replacement to any of the individual glass tile segments; the pierced metal domed cap appears to be original and in good, undamged condition, i.e., not dented, etc.; this cap has a nice uniform brown and rust-orange patina; the shade is currently fitted with a four-light socket device, which is not original (it is later, i.e., contemporary); the link chain appears to be a later replacement

Tiffany Studios
Highlighting the sale was a group of lamps by Tiffany Studios that surpassed expectations. A rare circa 1910 Nasturtium Trellis chandelier realized $75,600, exceeding its $50,000-70,000; a circa 1910 Black-Eyed Susan table lamp estimated at $20,000-30,000 performed exceptionally well at $40,950; and a circa 1910-20 Linenfold table lamp estimated at $12,000-18,000 achieved $22,680.
Art Pottery
Also surpassing expectations at the sale was a group of art pottery by the Austrian-born British ceramicist Lucie Rie (1902-1995). Rie studied pottery at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule, an arts and crafts school associated with the Wiener Werkstatte. Fleeing Germany in 1938, she settled in London, where she lived and maintained a studio producing ceramics for the next fifty years. In 1946, she hired fellow emigree Hans Coper (1920-1981) as a studio assistant, and later as a partner in her studio.
The group of ceramics by Lucie Rie was highlighted by a brown glazed porcelain vase that achieved $20,160, far over its estimate of $8,000-12,000. Pottery by Hans Coper featured a circa 1960 stoneware vase that realized $28,350.
Part I of the Doyle+Design auction on December 6, 2023 offered Modern and Contemporary artwork spanning the 20th century to the present day (Read More).
