We have completed the 16″ Bamboo lamp. Like many floral motifs that inspired stained glass lamp patterns, Tiffany Studios designed bamboo shades in several sizes. At Century Studios we recreate both the 16″ and 22″ Bamboo shades. As discussed in our previous posting, the long leaves on bamboo shades are heated in a kiln and…
The 25″ Fish Scale shade is a large helmet shaped shade that can be used as a table lamp, floor lamp or chandelier. The glass shifts from celadon green at the top down to green with amber on the lower half of the shade. We also gradually shifted the density of the glass from top…
We are currently working on a 16″ Bamboo shade. Visitors to the studio often assume that the individual pieces of glass have been bent to create a rounded shade. We explain that while the patterns give the illusion that the glass has been rounded, the pieces themselves are flat. The exception is the bamboo shade…
The 22″ Trumpet Vine is a large, turban shaped shade that makes an impressive table lamp, chandelier or floor lamp.

The cast bronze crown of branches for the top of the shade and the tree base must be created before construction of the shade begins. Once the exterior had been…
