This past week we made headway on the two elaborate shades we have in progress. Bill Campbell continued the layout of the 22″ Laburnum shade. With just under 2000 pieces of glass, this is a shade that takes concentration and commitment to create. Each of the pieces is individually laid out, cut and fit to…
The 25″ Fish Scale is a large helmet shaped shade that can be used as a table lamp, floor lamp or chandelier. The glass shifts from celadon green at the top down to green with amber on the lower half of the shade. We also gradually shifted the density of the glass from top to…
The 18″ Wisteria has been our primary project for the month of May. Bill Campbell selected the glass and did the layout for this elaborate lamp. This 18″ shade has 1945 individual pieces of glass, each of which must be cut, fit to the pattern, and then foiled by hand with precision. Once the pieces…
With it generous proportions and unusual filigreed irregular lower edge, the 24″ Poppy with Filigree makes a bold decorating statement. A variety of red, orange, yellow and deep pink glasses were selected for the flowers. The sparkling, lightly textured background glass combines both the flower and leaf colors. The addition of etched metal filigree on…
Tiffany Studios designed a variety of elegant geometric shades that add a splash of color to any decor. New to our studio showroom is this 16″ Geometric w/Band of Triangles shade. This lamp was created as a showroom piece and has sold since appearing in this post. Geometric shades were designed to showcase glass. A…
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…
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. The dome shaped shade is covered in brilliantly colored flowers. With red, yellow, blue and deep purple flowers playfully competing for attention against a blue background, the shade has a…
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. Gold can produce beautiful pinks (and purples) that have a distinctive fuchsia tone, which is perfect for cyclamen flowers. The delicate blooms hover…
With several active projects at different stages, we have spent this past week multitasking. The week began with Irwin Terry completing the soldering on a shade while Bill Campbell continued the layout of an 18″ Wisteria shade. Bill took time mid-week to do some patina work and Irwin moved over to cutting the wisteria pieces…
Daffodils were Louis Comfort Tiffany’s favorite flower, so it comes as no surprise that Tiffany Studios produced daffodil lamps in numerous sizes and shapes. The 14″ Daffodil is the smallest of the various daffodil shade designs we create. Springtime greens in the leaves are accented by the green ripple glass in the border rows. Sunny…
