Since Bill has been busy working on a large mosaic project for a client, Irwin decided it was time to revisit one of the most complex patterns we offer – the 18″ Lotus Lamp. We made the Lotus pictured on the left about 20 years ago, and have only made this lamp on commission since…
The Lamps of Tiffany by Dr. Egon Neustadt was the first major book published about Tiffany lamps and is still one of the most extensive, showing several color variations on many lamp designs. It is an important book for any Arts & Crafts library, and a “must have” volume for serious Tiffany collectors/enthusiasts. Published in…
Over the years, Bill has made quite a few glass mosaic panels with a variety of sources for inspiration. These pieces are created by cutting art glass to make a picture using the reflective quality of the glass (as opposed to our stained glass windows and lamps where the glass is selected with light coming…
Designed to be used as a chandelier fixture, the 26″ Turtleback shade is a unique Tiffany Studios design. “Turtleback” is the name given by Tiffany Studios for the large pressed glass jewels that resemble the shell of a turtle. These are some of the largest jewels that Tiffany created and they were used in a…
The most recent addition to our line of Tiffany reproduction shade patterns is the 18″ Poinsettia Trellis design. This floral design features an unusual trellised background, which gives the design an “in the garden” feel.

Dragonfly shades are made in more sizes than almost any other Tiffany Studios design motif. Even well into the 1920’s when Tiffany Studios had all but disbanded the lamp department, they were still filling orders for dragonfly shades. The largest of the dragonfly designs we recreate are the 28″ cones. We offer two different 28″…
Over the past two weeks we worked on and completed a number of projects that were waiting to get finished up once we got past our September show. The first project was a large skylight that was made in a Persian floor tile pattern. The larger squares were transparent to let in a lot of…
Visitors to our Minneapolis showroom/studio have found more than just lamps and large window projects available for purchase. In our showroom’s front window we always have smaller items that will range in size and price. These smaller “suncatchers” are affordable as gift items and add a splash of color to any window. Many of our…
