Quoizel Tiffany Butterfly Table Lamp - Orange Stained Glass with Bronze Rose Base

The Quoizel Tiffany Butterfly is a 230mm-tall table lamp built around a single stained-glass butterfly positioned with raised wings on an architectural bronze rose base. The wings are assembled from hand-cut pieces of orange, amber, cream and blue stained glass in a pattern that echoes monarch butterfly wing markings, with copper foil soldering forming the veining detail across each panel. A single 3W LED G9 bulb inside the body casts light through the coloured glass, turning the butterfly into an illuminated accent piece rather than a primary light source.

Designed as decorative accent lighting for side tables, bedside cabinets, window sills and shelves, the lamp provides warm ambient glow rather than task light. The 180mm depth from front to back and 145mm width mean it fits comfortably on narrow surfaces without overhang. The bronze rose base acts as both a sculptural element and a stable platform, with the metal petals and leaves forming a 145mm footprint that prevents the lamp from tipping despite the raised wing position.

Each piece of stained glass shows natural variation in colour density and translucency depending on how the sheet was cut, so the exact tonal range differs between individual lamps. The copper foil soldering technique (Tiffany method) allows tighter curves and finer detail than traditional lead came, which is why the wing veins can follow the organic shapes seen in real butterfly anatomy. The architectural bronze finish on the metal base has a low-sheen patina that pairs the orange-amber glass tones without competing for visual attention. The included 3W LED G9 at 3000K provides a warm white light that enhances the amber and orange tones in the glass while keeping power consumption low.

Is the bulb replaceable?

Yes. The lamp uses a standard G9 bulb rated at 12V 3W LED. A replacement bulb is included with the lamp. When replacing, ensure the new bulb does not exceed 3W to avoid overheating the stained glass.

How is the stained glass cleaned?

Wipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the copper foil joints and do not use glass cleaners or household sprays, which can degrade the solder and patina over time.

Does the lamp provide enough light for reading?

No. The 3W LED provides warm ambient accent light rather than task lighting. The coloured glass diffuses and tints the light, reducing brightness. For reading, pair the lamp with a separate task light or position it as secondary accent lighting alongside a brighter source.

Does the glass colour vary between lamps?

Yes. Each piece of stained glass is hand-cut from larger sheets, so the exact colour density, grain and translucency differ between individual lamps. This is characteristic of the Tiffany stained-glass technique, not a defect.
