With its lush foliage and fully ripened grapes, the 18″ Grape is one of Tiffany Studios’ most successful lamp designs. The shade begins with a cast bronze crown of open branches at the top that mates with the sturdy Tree Trunk base (23″ tall). The glass continues the flow of the branchwork and cascades downwards,…
The 16″ Snowball shade is the tabletop version of the large 24″ Snowball dome. The unusually deep shape of the shade is accentuated by the undulations of the lower edge, giving the shade a natural feel. For this piece, we chose a stunning blue glass for the sky. The flowers and leaves are a lively…
The Mermaid with Nautilus Shell lamp depicts a bronze double-tailed mermaid riding the crest of a wave while holding a lit nautilus shell above her head. Tiffany Studios used the nautilus shade on a few different bases, but this has always been the most coveted shade/base combination. The color of the shade gently shifts from…
The 16″ Pomegranate features a decorative border of eighteen pomegranates that encircle the shade in pleasant repetition. The amber tone of the shade plays off of the green glaze of the 7 Handled Pottery base. The lamp base is from our discontinued line of Grueby style pottery bases (see our post from October 15, 2020)….

The generous scale of the shade allows the glass artist to explore the Impressionistic nature of the design. As a challenge to ourselves, we decided to make this lamp with a two sided color scheme. One side…
This past week we went to our foundry to drop off waxes for upcoming projects and pick up the bronze castings that were completed. Our foundry is an hours drive in both directions from the studio. Since reopening after a several month state mandated shutdown of all non essential businesses this past spring, the foundry…
The 14″ Geranium is a compact shade that elevates this ubiquitous summertime potted plant to star status. For this example cheerful red flowers pop against the sunny yellow background. A wide variety of mottled and rippled green glasses with an undercurrent of red are used for the distinctive foliage. We created this lamp for a…
Tiffany Studios designed a variety of geometric shades that feel at home in any decor. These elegantly simple designs emphasize the glass selected for the shade. For this 16″ Geometric with Squares we chose a light butter yellow glass with a soft mottle for the main body of the shade. The accent rows at the…
The 22″ Tulip is a generously proportioned, intricate shade design filled to bursting with flowers in full bloom. Two horizontal border rows strain to keep the masses of flowers in check. The deep red tulip flowers play against lively green leaves. The shade is shown on the Twisted Vine base (24.5″ tall). We created this…
Depending on the glass chosen for the shade, the 15″ Spider shade has the ability to look bright and cheerful or dark and menacing. While obviously inspired by a spider and web, Tiffany Studios originally referred to the shade as “geometric plain, heavy ribs for #337 base”. The #337 base is the Mushroom base shown…
