The multicolored background of this 20″ Dragonfly shade was created from a five color, granite textured glass. The mix of red, yellow, blue, green, and gold pink gives the shade a warm, fiery glow which is accented by the blue toned border rows and red jewels that encrust the upper surface of the shade. The…
The 16″ Poppy is one of the most popular Tiffany shade patterns. The elegant flowers are tastefully presented on a cone shape, and the addition of filigrees in the leaves and flower centers give an added dimension to the shade. This example, created in 2013 for a client in San Francisco, has a vibrant color…
With over 200 pieces more than the standard 22″ Peony, the 22″ Elaborate Peony is an aptly named shade design. This complicated lamp pattern has also become known as the Windswept Peony, but it is called “elaborate” on the original Tiffany Studios list. The multitude of pieces in this complex floral design are like brush…
The 16″ Fish shade is one of our favorite Tiffany Studios shade designs. The shade shows a school of five Koi gently swimming in a pond, weaving amongst plant life. With their elegant swirling bodies, filigreed fins and tails, the fish form a rhythmic design across the surface of the shade. Created as a showroom…

Bill Campbell meticulously chose every piece of glass, skillfully blending multiple richly toned glasses. Once the glass was chosen, Irwin…
The 28″ Laburnum is one of the largest reproduction Tiffany shades we create. With over 2000 individual pieces of glass, it is also one of the most time consuming shades to produce. The laburnum has an irregular lower edge, lending an air of naturalism to the piece. For this example we combined mottled glass in…

We recently acquired an original Tiffany Studios 6″ Bamboo Cap and are pleased to reproduce this very rare cap. Cast in bronze, our reproduction cap is an exotic accent atop any large shade, and provides the perfect finishing touch for…

The background glass used for this shade was a delicate peach and green mix with a lightly textured surface made by the Lins Glass Foundry in the 1990’s. The shade is…
