Art Nouveau Purple Glass Lamp

A beautiful combination of traditional glassblowing and Art Nouveau design, this one-of-a-kind lamp features six delicate, hand-blown glass shades in rich amethyst purple.

Each shade has been individually shaped by hand, with soft, flowing edges that resemble the petals of a flower. When illuminated, the warm glow of the bulbs shines through the purple glass, bringing out its beautiful colour and natural variations.

The ornate metal base, with its curved stems and delicate botanical details, complements the glass perfectly, creating a sculptural piece that is just as beautiful switched off as it is illuminated.

The Making

Handcrafted by glass artists Faerie Fleur and James Alexander in our hotshop on Tamborine Mountain, each glass shade began as molten glass gathered from our furnace at approximately 1100°C.

Using traditional glassblowing techniques, the artists carefully blew, shaped, reheated and opened each piece to achieve its delicate, flowing form.

Once completed, the glass was placed into an annealer to cool slowly over approximately 12 hours, ensuring its strength and stability.

The result is six individually handmade shades, each with its own subtle differences, making this lamp truly unique.

A One-of-a-Kind Creation

This is more than just a lamp. It’s a functional piece of glass art, bringing together traditional craftsmanship, colour and beautiful design.
