At Century Studios we create pieces in the order they were commissioned. Occasionally we have two of the same shade designs ordered one after another or ordered as a pair, but this is the first time we have had three shades in a row being created for three different clients.

Lamp of the Week: 28″ Magnolia
One of the most recognizable Tiffany Studios shade designs, the 28″ Magnolia can be used as a large chandelier fixture or as a floor lamp. The Magnolia is one of the few shade designs which utilize drapery glass, a hand folded sheet glass that gives a highly three dimensional look to the shade. We created…
16″ Dragonfly
Our first completed lamp of the new year is a 16″ Dragonfly. Commissioned by a local client, this richly colored shade has orange/amber dragonflies flying over a deep blue/green background. The shade was commissioned by a local client and is shown on the Small Stick base (20″ tall).
Lamp of the Week: 12″ Dogwood
Commissioned in 2014 as a wedding gift for a couple in San Francisco, this 12″ Dogwood shade is bright and cheerful. The shade is mated with the highly detailed Mushroom base (16″ tall).
16″ Dragonfly on Dragonfly Mosaic Base
We ended 2021 by completing a 16″ Dragonfly shade on a Dragonfly Mosaic base. Purple dragonflies encircle the shade, hovering over a field of shifting blue tones. The cast bronze Dragonfly Mosaic base is meticulously decorated with hand cut and fit reflective lustre glass. The shimmering surface of the mosaic catches the light from every…

This shade has the unique feature of being lobed, which in combination with the irregular lower edge, gives the lamp a heightened three dimensional quality. The yellow and amber flowers and lush green foliage are set against a brilliant cerulean blue sky. Commissioned by a…
Welcome 2022
We reopened the studio on Tuesday January 4 and hit the ground running. 2022 is booked solid with lamp projects so we got right to work foiling a 16″ Dragonfly shade we had cut and fit in December. Foiling completed, Irwin Terry continued on to soldering the dragonfly shade. Bill Campbell moved ahead with the…
Lamp of the Week: 16″ Peacock Feather
The 16″ Peacock Feather is a boldly conceived Tiffany shade design combining a naturalistic feather pattern with the repetitive symmetry of a geometric shade. The strong amber tone at the top of the shade quickly shifts through emerald green and then to blue. These colors are reflected in the peacock “eyes” that encircle the lower…
