Quezal, American. A decorative Arts and Crafts glass feather painted shade. With golden swirling iridescent decoration throughout. Marked along the neck of the shade.

Quezal was founded by two former employees of Louis Comfort Tiffany's glassworks, Martin Bach and Thomas Johnson. They named the company after the brightly feathered Central American quetzal bird and used similar manufacturing techniques employed by the Tiffany factory.
Height: 6 3/4 in x diameter: 15 in. The shade is in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or dents. The colors are bold and bright. There is a 1 1/4 inches long area where it has lost some of the painted decoration, which one can easily expect given its age and use. There are some bubbles along the surface, most likely to be firing flaws. When inspected under the UV light, there is no sign of restorations. Along the rounded edge, there is one 1/2 inch long residue. Consistent with its use and age, wear to the rim. Please contact us for a detailed condition report.
