The 16″ Cyclamen shade is a rarely seen Tiffany Studios shade pattern. The flowers for this shade were made from “gold pink” glass that was created by Schlitz Studios in the 1980’s. Gold can produce beautiful pinks (and purples) that have a distinctive fuchsia tone, which is perfect for cyclamen flowers. The delicate blooms hover…
With several active projects at different stages, we have spent this past week multitasking. The week began with Irwin Terry completing the soldering on a shade while Bill Campbell continued the layout of an 18″ Wisteria shade. Bill took time mid-week to do some patina work and Irwin moved over to cutting the wisteria pieces…
Daffodils were Louis Comfort Tiffany’s favorite flower, so it comes as no surprise that Tiffany Studios produced daffodil lamps in numerous sizes and shapes. The 14″ Daffodil is the smallest of the various daffodil shade designs we create. Springtime greens in the leaves are accented by the green ripple glass in the border rows. Sunny…
This past week we completed the 24″ Snowball shade. This design is often mistakenly referred to as a hydrangea, but the original Tiffany Studios price lists identify the design as a snowball. Hydrangea flowers are more conical in shape while snowball flowers are round. Snowball bushes can reach heights and widths of 8 to 20…
The 14″ Dragonfly is a compact shade with a large personality. For this example, green dragonflies hover over a jeweled pond of heavily rippled blue/green glass tinged with yellow and white. The ripple glass chosen for this shade was created by Schlitz Studios in the late 1980’s/early 90’s (Schlitz closed in the mid 90’s). We…
Stuffed to bursting with beautiful blooms, the 16″ Tulip Field is a garden of springtime delights. Lush green leaves fill the lower half of the shade with sturdy flower stems reaching upwards from rich garden soil. The upper portion of this extravagant design presents masses of flowers clustered together with almost no sky peeking through. …
The 10″ Azalea is a small shade with a large personality. The design is segmented into sections by border rows, yet these can barely contain the exuberant foliage and flowers that fill the shade. The flowers are a lusty deep red while the leaves have a variety of mixed green tones. Blue sky peeks through…
A milestone in the history of lighting design, Louis Comfort Tiffany introduced lily table lamps in the 1890’s and showed the world what could be created with an electric light bulb and some imagination. This lamp is inspired by a cluster of water lilies, with the lustre glass flowers nodding gently above the bronze lily…
This 22″ Turtleback Turban has a deep, brooding personality. The heavily mottled, richly colored red & green glass of the upper and lower geometric portions of the shade are the perfect backdrop for the band of black cherry colored turtlebacks. This distinctive shade is shown on the popular Perforated base (26″ tall, telescopes taller). The…
Springtime daffodils were Louis Comfort Tiffany’s favorite flowers and he had banks of these sunny flowers lining the drive to his Long Island, New York estate. The 20″ Jonquil Daffodil combines two varieties of daffodil on one design. Set against a blue sky and surrounded by it distinctive green foliage, tall yellow daffodil trumpets overlook…
