Work continues on the 18″ Apple Blossom. After soldering the outside of the shade and attaching the cast crown at the top, the Fiberglas form was heated, the wax (which held the pieces in place before soldering) was melted, and the shade was removed from the form…Or more accurately, the form is removed from the…
Work is progressing on the 18″ Apple Blossom shade. The past week was spent completing the foiling, transferring the pieces and soldering the shade together. This coming week, much time will be spent by Irwin with his head inside the shade reinforcing and completing the soldering!
Last week at Century Studios was very busy…and productive! We worked on several projects during the week, completing some and making progress on others. Two of our larger projects included a window panel for a door made almost entirely out of lustre glass (see photo to the left), and continued progress on an 18″ Apple…
One of the final lamps we completed in 2010 was a 16″ Fish Shade on the Bell Pepper Base. Commissioned by a client in North Carolina, this shade has lots of color in both the swimming Koi and in the background glass. As can be seen from the two photos of this lamp, each fish…
Let’s start the new year out by adding a new pattern to our lamp offerings! The 20″ Windswept Daffodil shade (see photo below, right) is a naturalistic companion to the linear 20″ Daffodil shade (see photo to the left).

We recently completed a 15″ Spider lamp for a client in Canada. This design features cast bronze spider “legs” and the vent cap represents the body of the spider. Unlike real spiders, Tiffany Studios only designed the Spider shade with six legs rather than eight. Bur Oak Pottery sent us a few new pieces, including…
This week we completed an 18″ Peony lamp for a local client. The client had asked us to create a shade that was full of color and personality. The challenge on a shade of this type is to put strong color into it, but to still have the colors blend. With its rich red flowers…
In our last posting, we showed the 14″ Dragonfly shade on a base that has not appeared in our showroom before – the Tobacco Leaf base. Created in our studio from molds taken off a Tiffany Studios’ original example, this base has an interesting shape and wonderful detailing. The Tobacco Leaf base works well with…
