The 16″ Daisy is a Century Studios adaptation of a Tiffany Studios shade design. The shade pattern is actually the 16″ Black Eyed Susan but the flower colors have been changed from amber to white. While this variation is a Century Studios’ idea, it was not unheard of for Tiffany Studios to change colors on…
The 16″ Dragonfly is a cornerstone Tiffany Studios shade design. Instantly recognizable with its jeweled eyes and filigreed wings, this pattern can be created in any coloration.

A variety of reds tinged with blue, purple, and yellow were chosen to give the flowers a fanciful, sun dappled appearance. The light blue background glass at the top of the shade deepens to purple mixed with amber…
The work on the 28″ Magnolia shade continued at a steady pace. Once all the pieces were laid out, cut and fit to the pattern we began the process of wrapping the edge of each piece in copper foil. Bill Campbell is seen foiling a glass piece. The rolls of copper foil in the red…
