18" Grape

The 18" Grape is one of four 18" tree style shade designs by Tiffany Studios which were designed to mate with the large Tree Trunk base. Starting with a cast bronze crown of openwork branches at the top of the shade, these lamp designs fully integrate the shade with the base.

Hand rolled glasses by Youghiogheny, Schlitz, Lins, and Uroborus in tones of blue, purple and green were blended in a lush color palette to give the shade depth. Hints of red, orange and deep amber enliven the color scheme. A brilliant blue sky composed of fracture/streamer glass made over thirty years ago by Schlitz Studios peeps between the foliage and ripening fruit.

The color, texture and transparency of each of the glasses used were all carefully considered when laying out the shade. This lamp was created for a local client.
 

Lamp of the Week: Easter Lily

The 28" Easter Lily is a Century Studios original shade design which was created by Bill Campbell in 2016. To bring this highly detailed pattern to life every type of art glass was employed, including streaky, ring mottle, rippled, fibroid, drapery, and fracture/streamer. The glasses were painstakingly chosen and the colors blended to create an impressionistic view of a garden of lilies in full bloom. This stunning shade was created for a client in Illinois and is in their private collection.

 

22" Dogwood

Spring is the time when the first flowers appear in the garden and flowering petals adorn the trees overhead. Dogwood trees were a favorite subject for Tiffany Studios' lamp and window designers. The 22" Dogwood is a generously proportioned shade with large flowers in full bloom covering the shade. The pink and white blooms and fresh green foliage are held in check by a series of horizontal border rows. 

Shown on the Bird Skeleton base (26.5" tall), this shade was created for a client in Georgia who is using it as a floor lamp on a Twisted Vine Floor base (57.5" tall).  

Here is a peek at how we photograph our completed lamps. Our collapsible photo booth is set up on the lower level of the studio and after the lamp is photographed, we fold the booth up until it is time to shoot the next project.
