Our bronze foundry reopened last week, and we were able to pick up a number of lamp bases that were nearing completion at the time of the shutdown. We were also able to drop off waxes for upcoming orders. As discussed in our November 3, 2019 blog post (https://centurystudios.blogspot.com/2019/11/creating-century-studios-tiffany.html) we create each of our bases…
The 20″ Jonquil Daffodil is one of the few Tiffany Studios lamp patterns that incorporates two varieties of the same flower on the same shade. The upper half of the shade features large daffodil flowers with their trumpets nodding gracefully. The lower half is scattered with a profusion of delicate Narcissus blooms whose bright faces…
We are busy at the studio working on two large shades for different clients – a 22″ Poinsettia and a 22″ Trumpet Vine. The glass shown in the first photo is under consideration for the trumpet vine. The poinsettia is shown laid out on the light table before being transferred onto the form. Irwin has…
The 28″ Grape Trellis was originally designed by Tiffany Studios as a chandelier fixture, but the shade can also be used as a floor lamp or oversized table lamp. Tiffany’s large chandelier cones present the lamp artist with a an exciting opportunity to showcase the beauty of stained glass in ways not possible on smaller…

Bamboo shades are the only Tiffany Studios’ lamp patterns where slumped glass has been employed so that the lead lines do not break up the glass to fit the curve of the shade. Each leaf is heated in a kiln and bent to follow the curvature of the shade. By eliminating the horizontal lines that…
The 16″ Pomegranate is one of Tiffany Studios many popular shades that incorporate a decorative band bookmarked by geometric glass tiles. For this shade, we used a warm orange/amber glass for the main body of the shade with the pomegranates in a slightly deeper tone. The glass used for the body of the shade has…
The 22″ Chestnut is a Century Studios’ interpretation of a Tiffany Studios shade design which does not appear to have been produced. A Tiffany Studios salesman’s sample panel showing one pattern repeat is in the collection of the Morse Museum in Florida and appears in several books. Using a photograph of the panel and general…
Century Studios is pleased to introduce a new design to our list of reproduction Tiffany shades – the 13″ Venetian shade. Originally conceived as part of the Venetian desk set, this incredibly detailed shade has a higher piece count than most of the 22″ shades we offer. The shade has 1148 individual pieces of glass….
The 16″ Fern is a most unusual Tiffany Studios shade design. The strong graphic sensibility of the pattern stays true to the plant it represents while calling to mind Tiffany’s Moorish style lighting fixtures that rely on sculpted wire work. This glass chosen for this piece is a subtle variation of two greens. Shown on…
