Lamp of the Week: 28″ Peony
At Tiffany Studios, lamps were conceived to bring the excitement of stained glass windows off the walls and into the room – while still performing the functional service of providing light. The 28″ cone shaped shades were intended as large chandelier fixtures that would be the focal point of any space they occupied. Most of…
10″ Pansy
The 10″ Pansy is a compact shade with a large personality. Designed by Bill Campbell in 2013, this is a Century Studios original shade pattern.

Lamp of the Week: 16″ Cyclamen
The 16″ Cyclamen shade is a rarely seen Tiffany Studios shade pattern. The flowers for this shade were made from “gold pink” glass that was created by Schlitz Studios in the 1980’s.

This past week we completed the 24″ Snowball shade. This design is often mistakenly referred to as a hydrangea, but the original Tiffany Studios price lists identify the design as a snowball. Hydrangea flowers are more conical in shape while snowball flowers are round. Snowball bushes can reach heights and widths of 8 to 20…
Lamp of the Week: 14″ Dragonfly
The 14″ Dragonfly is a compact shade with a large personality. For this example, green dragonflies hover over a jeweled pond of heavily rippled blue/green glass tinged with yellow and white. The ripple glass chosen for this shade was created by Schlitz Studios in the late 1980’s/early 90’s (Schlitz closed in the mid 90’s). We…
