The 18″ Clematis is a beautifully designed Tiffany shade with a non-repeating pattern. Covered in a mass of large blue and purple flowers set against a green fracture/streamer glass background, much of the glass for this shade was created by the Lins and Schlitz glass foundries. Both of these glass foundries closed in the 1990’s…

The 22″ Dogwood shade is generously proportioned, and the large flowers are set against horizontal rows which give the design structure and suggest an architectural element. We created this shade for our showroom in 2016 and and is now in…
