While on a visit to Schlitz Studios to buy glass in the late 1980’s, we noticed a large bronze casting and faceted lamp form for the 20″ Cobweb Mosaic lamp sitting on a table in a corner of the studio. When questioned about the base, Jim Schlitz would only offer that it was not for…

Commissioned in 2002 by a Chicago area client, the cascading flowers in this shade have a variety of blue, purple, lavender, and white tones….

The low dome mimics how nasturtium plants will climb over rocks in the garden to create mounds of riotously colorful flowers peaking through large saucer shaped leaves. Nasturtium flowers and leaves are edible and have a sharp, peppery taste which…
The 16″ Snowball shade takes its inspiration from the Snowball Viburnum plant. The shade is covered in flower clusters and has an irregular lower edge, giving the piece a naturalistic look. For this shade, our client requested off white/cream colored flower clusters set against a strong blue sky. Each flower head on the plant is…
The 28″ Laburnum is one of the largest Tiffany shades we create. With over 2000 individual pieces of glass, it is also one of the most time consuming shades to produce. The Laburnum has an irregular lower edge, lending an air of naturalism to the piece. For this example we combined mottled glass in tones…
