This past week at the studio, we have been working on several projects at the same time. After completing the foiling for a 20″ Azalea shade, Irwin has moved on to soldering the shade. After more than a year of waiting, we finally received the casting for an Odyssey Dragonfly Mosaic Urn base. Bill began…
With their straight forward geometric background and decorative band, Acorn shades have always been a favorite Tiffany lamp pattern. The design was originally called a Vine pattern, but today everyone refers to this design as an acorn.

With its three dimensional arachnid silently resting atop its web awaiting the approach of the unwary, the 15″ Spider shade elicits strong reactions from viewers.
