The 16″ Daisy Shade is a Century Studios hybrid of a Tiffany Studios shade design. The shade pattern is actually the 16″ Black Eyed Susan, but for years Bill had been speculating that the pattern would look wonderful in daisy colors. In 2012 we decided to put theory into practice. While this variation is a…

The amber 16″ Turtleback shade was created…
The 22″ Trumpet Vine shade is a large turban shaped lamp covered in a profusion of blossoms. This piece was commissioned by an overseas client and it is now on its way to their home. Large floral shades take quite a bit of time and planning to create. Much time was spent picking the glass…
Springtime daffodils were Louis Comfort Tiffany’s favorite flowers and he had banks of these sunny flowers lining the drive to his Long Island, New York estate.
