Another wonderfully playful, fused and slumped, glass shade from Mesolini Glass Studio. This shade was just plain fun! A lot of work went into the rest of this lamp to make it worthy of this shade. The cluster body and socket cups are all custom, hand made pieces. They were created from copper plumbing fittings and tubing. The lamp body is fabricated from eight pieces of 1/2” tubing soldered onto a 1” center tube. The wood disc at the top of the tubes and the base at the bottom are made from an unidentified hardwood that has been in my shop for years. I have big pieces and little scraps of all kinds of interesting woods all over the shop. This lamp features a hang-straight (usually used with pendants) to help easily level the shade. The finial is a half round brass ball that has been faceted by pushing it into a belt sander over and over until it had the desired texture. All the copper has a hand-rubbed, bronze patina with a wax top coat. There is a full range dimmer in the cluster body. The lamp stands 19" tall x 12" in diameter.
