I fell in love with this lamp when I saw the picture and read the following (excerpted) newspaper article:
NEW YORK - It's the Holy Grail of Tiffany lamps, a sublime stained-glass shade of lilies in soft hues of pink and green, cascading down in an oblong bell to a bronze base molded to resemble the delicate pads in the water.
There's only one left in the world for sale - the other seven variations are in museums or private collections - and it can be yours from the Macklowe Gallery in New York for a mere $3.5 million.

Forms and patterns to reproduce Tiffany lamps are available but, I was unable to find this one. Thinking that I'd have to make my own form and pattern, I visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to take extensive photographs of their version (which is blue rather than green).

I just happened to share my pictures with Trina at the local glass shop and she recognized the pattern as one that Odyssey calls "Flowering Lotus". I have no idea why Odyssey felt the need to change the name but I ended up going the Odyssey route.
