Document source description
The bowl of the lampada, or icon lamp, is composed of eight arched segments, each containing a large, stylized blossom borne on a short stem with leaves executed in orange, pink, red, blue, turquoise and light green plique-à-jour enamel. The top edge is bordered by a row of light blue circles and a band of abstract floral motifs. Around the bottom there is a row of green lozenges and one of light blue circles. The base, in contrast, is in silver gilt decorated with a row of light blue circles, a zigzag pattern, and blue and white blossoms all in raised filigree enamel. A filigree wire tassel with twisted wire pendants is suspended from the foot. The enameling on the lampada's cap is limited to a row of light blue circles in opaque filigree enamel. Four chains, suspended from the cap, reach to the four scrolled handles on the bowl.
