The 18″ Oak Leaf is a formal looking shade with a playful side. The wildly swirling oak leaves and acorns are contained within the wide decorative band that is bookmarked by upper and lower sections of geometric tiles. The glass for the majority of the shade is a medium toned, mottled golden amber. Light green…
The 20″ Black Eyed Susan shade is a generously proportioned dome shaped shade that is covered in flowers. The orange/amber flowers are set against a subtle backdrop of a semi-transparent light amber glass tinged with lavender and yellow.

Small accent lamps can have a big impact on a room. A local client commissioned this 10″ Geometric shade in a richly mottled emerald green. The shade is shown on the Dandelion base (12″ tall to armset, 17″ overall lamp height).

Soldering the interior of the 28″ Magnolia shade included adding six copper reinforcing wires to the inside of the shade.

Our custom made shade holder was designed specifically to accommodate shades ranging in size from 10″ to 28″. Hot solder runs downhill, so it is important to be able to position and reposition the shade…
We created this 12″ Apple Blossom shade in the mid-1990’s as a showroom piece. Set against a fracture/streamer blue sky that is sprinkled with purple and green, the pink and off white flowers commingle with delicately colored leaves in various shades of green. Supporting the shade is the Torpedo base, a stylized design that combines…
(See our blog post from Sunday June 14 for Part 1) Work continued quite steadily on the 28″ Magnolia shade this week. After completing the glass selection and fitting the pieces to the pattern, both Bill and Irwin spent most of the week foiling the pieces. This is a time consuming step in the process…

A fracture/streamer glass background keeps the shade light and airy. The shade is shown on the beautifully detailed Chinese base (16″ tall).
