A classic Tiffany Studios design, the 16″ Turtleback shade features a decorative band of hand cut “turtleback” tiles against a geometric ground.

This past week we completed and shipped two commissioned 10″ shades. Both shades are shown on the Ruffle base. The 10″ Acorn has a dramatic color shift from white to cherry red. This piece was shipped to an overseas client. The 10″ Turtleback shade went to the West Coast to be used on an antique…

Because the flowers are clustered at the lower edge of the shade, the 20″ Daffodil makes a wonderful chandelier fixture…
This past weekend, we traveled to New York City for a whirlwind visit. Any trip to New York is not complete without seeing “something Tiffany”, and this time we visited the Lillian Nassau Gallery at 220 East 57th Street on Saturday morning.
