There are even some designs that were used on both types of tiffany lamps such as the Dragonfly, Oriental Poppy, and the Peony.

Tiffany took the concept of the flowered dome designs and made them more symmetrical by adding geometric borders to the tops and bottoms of most of the designs. Many patterns even took a floral design and repeated it around the lamp.

The flowered cones have straight sides stretching down toward a circular shade base.

As this cone design was easier to produce than the domes, there were a great deal more of the cone designs manufactured than the domes.

The Lily Pad, Grape, Water Lily and Arrowroot are some of the designs that were exclusive to the Tiffany lamp flowered cones.

The Arrowroot design is a classic example of the flowered cone series. Consisting of only five colors this design is able to bend nature into a symmetrical ring.

With 16 arrowroot plants lining the shade, each consisting of 6 pieces of cut green glass and a backdrop of white flowers with yellow centers and blue sky peeking through the tops.

The Dragonfly design is one of the most famous Tiffany lamp designs for good reason. Not only is the Dragonfly design beautiful, it is intricate with thousands of tiny pieces of glass welded together to form the wings of dragonflies.

From a distance the wings appear to be four pieces of glass laid just right to form the wings.

Upon closer inspection though, each wing is made up of about 50 – 100 small pieces of glass, so that the welds form the veins are that barely visible on a real dragonfly’s wings.

Tiffany’s flowered cone designs prove that you can bring together the two very different worlds of nature and symmetry.
