*Official Announcement*	The Postal Service will issue a 1-cent Tiffany Lamp (Item 781500) definitive stamp in a water-activated gum (WAG) coil of 3,000 on March 1, 2003, in Biloxi, Mississippi. The stamp, designed by Derry Noyes, Washington, DC, and illustrated by Lou Nolan, McLean, Virginia, goes on sale nationwide March 2, 2003. The Tiffany Lamp stamp features the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), a designer of glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamelware, and metalwork who transformed everyday objects into works of art. Considered one of the greatest designers of glass in his era, Tiffany is also remembered as a leader in the art nouveau movement, a style in the visual arts that transformed design in the United States and Europe from the 1890s to World War I. Tiffany Lamp is the third stamp in the new American Design series, which began in May 2002.
