Like many flowering trees, the dogwood was a favorite subject for Tiffany lamps and windows. The 22″ Dogwood is generously proportioned, with large flowers are set against multiple horizontal rows which give the design structure and suggest an architectural framework. We created this shade in 2016 as a studio showroom piece and it is now…
Commissioned by a client in Florida, this 14″ Geometric shade imparts a warm glow. The lightly mottled golden glass perfectly complements the simplicity of the piece. The shade is mated with the highly detailed Mushroom base (16″ tall).
With no decorative border rows to reign in the flowers, the 16″ Daffodil has a carefree, windswept feel. For this shade we chose a sunny yellow background glass that deepens to an amber/green mix on the lower portion of the shade. The fresh green leaves and stems provide a crisp contrast to the warm amber…
The 16″ Geranium is one of Tiffany Studios’ more inspired lamp designs. If there is one flower that represents summer more than any other, it is the ubiquitous geranium.

With their elegant swirling bodies and filigreed fins and tails, the fish form a rhythmic design across the surface of the shade. In many cultures, Koi…
This Turtleback Table Lantern was recently completed for a client in Texas. The golden orange turtleback tiles give the piece a warm glow. The addition of swirls in the upper portion of the lantern adds a touch of whimsy to the piece.
The warm amber tones of this 14″ Dragonfly shade are accented by the cranberry colored dragonfly wings and multicolored jewels in the background. Commissioned in 2014 by a West Cost client, this shade is shown on the small Tree Trunk base.
This past week began with a trip to the foundry to drop off waxes and pick up bronze lamp base castings. We spent the week completing the final work on the unfinished castings and fitting each base with the appropriate light cluster. All the parts were then patinated and the bases were wired. The completed…
The 25″ Mandarin Lotus is a uniquely shaped Tiffany shade. Many Tiffany lamp designs were inspired by water plants, and this pattern emulates the large round leaves of the lotus plant. The pattern of the lead lines takes its cues from the veining in the leaves, and the three dimensional accordion pleat surface brings the…
Progress continued on the 18″ Tulip shade. With the layout complete and all the pieces foiled, Bill Campbell transferred the lamp onto the lamp form for soldering. Our lamp forms are made of Fiberglas and are coated with a tacky beeswax mixture we make at the studio. The wax holds the pieces in place for…
