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…
At Century Studios, we have been creating stained glass shades since 1986 and have been producing our own line of lamp bases for over 20 years. In the past, we would visit our foundry every 8 to 12 weeks to drop off waxes and pick up raw bronzes to bring back to the studio for…
It is with regret that we must say farewell to our line of Pottery Lamp Bases. For over 23 years, Century Studios has created pottery bases using hand thrown pots by Ephraim Fiance Pottery (also Arts and Clay/Jemerick Art Pottery until their closure a few years ago). Ephraim has informed us that they are no…

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).
Designed by Bill Campbell in the 1980’s, our Oz Logo shade has long been a dormant Century Studios original lamp design. Bill adapted the logo design into a decorative band for this shade, adding a pressed glass “emerald” between each logo. After creating several examples in the late ’80’s/early 90’s for Books of Wonder, a…
