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…
The 16″ Pansy shade showcases clusters of delicate flowers set against a geometric background. Pansy flowers are a perfect subject for representation in stained glass because of the variety and vibrancy of the flowers themselves. For this shade, the background shifts from a light amber mixed with pale blue down to a vibrant blue with…

The 18″ Trumpet Vine lamp is one of the four Tiffany Studios 18″ shade designs intended for use on the Large Tree Trunk base (23″ tall). The sculpted cast metal openwork crown at the top of the shade flows into the stained glass naturally by the inclusion of heavy branch work that appears throughout the…
Century Studios is pleased to reintroduce the Bird Skeleton base to our lamp base offerings. The base, sometimes referred to as the Organic Root base, has four lights, is 26″ tall, and can be used with 20″ or 22″ shades. We used to get this base from Odyssey until they ceased producing metalwork. We now…
The bold design of the 16″ Peacock Feather shade has the symmetry of a repetitive geometric pattern softened by natural curves of a feather. Beginning with a strong amber tone at the top, the color shifts into green, teal, and ends in cobalt blue at the bottom. These colors are reflected in the peacock “eyes”…
Geometric shades work in any decor and can be created in a wide variety of glass colors. Blue and green mottled glass was chosen to enliven this 16″ Geometric shade. Commissioned by a client in Tennessee, the shade is shown on the Tall Flower Petal base (20″ tall).
