shade that is at home in any interior as a focal point or accent lamp.
Tiffany Studios originally referred to this shade design as a Vine Leaf,
but this pattern has come to be known as Acorn. A mottled celadon green glass
was selected for the body of the shade. To contrast the background the
acorns/leaves are done in a light pink & white glass. The shade is
shown on the distinctive <em><strong><span style="color: #93c47d;">Turtleback Band</span></strong></em> base
(21" tall). Supported by a three armed crutch, the body of the base has a
band of turtleback tiles that are illuminated by a light within the
base. This lamp was created in 2020 and is now in a private collection.</span></p><p><br /></p>centurystudios.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08109092624438010563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881943086997624682.post-24641405719333109102024-02-25T06:41:00.000-08:002024-02-25T06:41:54.864-08:0016" Dogwood<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjABEGSaecWCUV3i2seGp2N6fRJichzWPY9_SU5LaTLqWXAzglGP6xsK6p2oRoX7XjU-mx1MadubLtBRVl-OCQlW8BdrVQdDYIVAK0ho8oZhP6vTgirfqRWHO2-cp_Qchn_egK7mMnT9tdyskdXJ5AFrzH4iYXuuBISvegHURiFmdp2oGmRT1Ct3AxhKVM/s1080/Century%20Studios%2016%22%20Dogwood%20on%20Greek%20Urn%20base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="822" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjABEGSaecWCUV3i2seGp2N6fRJichzWPY9_SU5LaTLqWXAzglGP6xsK6p2oRoX7XjU-mx1MadubLtBRVl-OCQlW8BdrVQdDYIVAK0ho8oZhP6vTgirfqRWHO2-cp_Qchn_egK7mMnT9tdyskdXJ5AFrzH4iYXuuBISvegHURiFmdp2oGmRT1Ct3AxhKVM/w305-h400/Century%20Studios%2016%22%20Dogwood%20on%20Greek%20Urn%20base.jpg" width="305" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">With its fresh color palette, this 16" Dogwood has the uplifting feel of a spring morning.

lending inspiration for this colorful shade. With just under 2050
individual pieces, the pattern features a wealth of detail and is the most
elaborate shade design we offer. Sprightly white blossoms and ripe fruit
intermingle with lush green foliage against a golden background tinged
with blue and green. Mounted on the sturdy <i><b><span style="color: #93c47d;">Tree Trunk</span></b></i> base, the shade
begins with its crown of cast bronze intertwining branches at the top,
the shade cascades downward to its irregular lower edge. Designed and created in

The shade pattern is actually the <strong><em>16" Black Eyed Susan</em></strong> but the flower colors have been changed from amber to white. While this variation is a Century Studios' idea, it was not unheard of for Tiffany Studios to change colors on an existing shade pattern to create a new design. One such example is the <strong><em>22" Laburnum</em></strong> (when created in golden tones), and the <strong><em>22" Wisteria</em></strong> (when created in blue tones).<br /><br />The shade has a semitransparent summertime blue background with delicate white flowers and is shown on the elegant <strong><em><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Greek Urn</span></em></strong> base.

Instantly recognizable with its jeweled eyes and filigreed wings, this pattern can be created in any coloration. For this example bold blues and purples are accented by green upper and lower border rows. The shade is mated with the Swamp Flower base (18" tall). Completed in December, this lamp is in a private collection in Indiana.<br /></span><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></p>centurystudios.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08109092624438010563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881943086997624682.post-66978815867863085912024-01-11T06:06:00.000-08:002024-01-11T06:06:52.244-08:00Lamp of the Week: 16" Fish<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzm0f1g9FSchzZa13Vtdn_dGZwBAokhfAfgAYjHbuzz5SlV00LgF1TE4Drnokf-QfAlnpLKSrkLsGqcXBgcD6dSx95EbTgIQ4vlCh7vueTookqNK19iJBDmhWDM68zvXgtqu5mc-jZyW3V88x8ehmx_DDIhkXAoMYEeAn3Pzv80KKg0xAfbritIDx2qE/s1080/Century%20Studios%2016%22%20Fish%20on%20Shell%20Urn%20base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="925" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzm0f1g9FSchzZa13Vtdn_dGZwBAokhfAfgAYjHbuzz5SlV00LgF1TE4Drnokf-QfAlnpLKSrkLsGqcXBgcD6dSx95EbTgIQ4vlCh7vueTookqNK19iJBDmhWDM68zvXgtqu5mc-jZyW3V88x8ehmx_DDIhkXAoMYEeAn3Pzv80KKg0xAfbritIDx2qE/w343-h400/Century%20Studios%2016%22%20Fish%20on%20Shell%20Urn%20base.jpg" width="343" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">The <span><b><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">16" Fish</span></i></b></span> is an unusual Tiffany shade design. With the notable exception of
the dragonfly shades, very few Tiffany designs feature wildlife motifs.
Five Koi swim gracefully across the surface of the shade in a rhythmic
pattern. Filigree overlays accentuate the fins on each fish. This
striking shade was created using a lightly textured water glass and
heavily rippled glass for the lower edge. Hints of orange, amber, and
blue appear in the predominantly
green background, while the deep orange fish are tinged with
green and yellow. Commissioned by a South
Dakota client in 2016, the shade is shown on the <span style="color: #b45f06;"><b><i>Shell Urn</i></b></span> base.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAadaiDDtbx_NyprrHVT3Lcobl80yGvMc0wobuZrz29GOw9QmpfDMGjFpnw3m8-Qi16Op1DAYayZ5s83rtbYQs_D4PgEQcXrcKi4Cla0IqmF5xp0rwoKMCEbmHnIouLQ_wN2gOfmAj4xIl67mr0sW5fNpaTc54PlQEAuc4-zQsHOasgxkUTvFSJA5G1XQ/s864/Century%20Studios%2016%22%20Fish%20overhead.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="845" data-original-width="864" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAadaiDDtbx_NyprrHVT3Lcobl80yGvMc0wobuZrz29GOw9QmpfDMGjFpnw3m8-Qi16Op1DAYayZ5s83rtbYQs_D4PgEQcXrcKi4Cla0IqmF5xp0rwoKMCEbmHnIouLQ_wN2gOfmAj4xIl67mr0sW5fNpaTc54PlQEAuc4-zQsHOasgxkUTvFSJA5G1XQ/w400-h391/Century%20Studios%2016%22%20Fish%20overhead.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p>centurystudios.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08109092624438010563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881943086997624682.post-27660632830151141922024-01-07T05:30:00.000-08:002024-01-07T05:30:31.651-08:0010" Turtleback<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQPkG47d0YHscTIN3qZ7L3_hQJKGmOb2yxvqSUGog4hiSReDFIdjkT0CsYYd01M70btva5y_086MMKWjjU62suY2-A6z_P7dSBGrSYJ9bciE-ORzm56_t2Fni9acuzqofCh9f1p1W9AABRVb-xo2CYuHb1xEjNntN8H948yMf43b5-z03DANarYyhx4Y/s1080/Century%20Studios%2010%22%20Turtleback%20on%20Ruffle%20base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="797" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQPkG47d0YHscTIN3qZ7L3_hQJKGmOb2yxvqSUGog4hiSReDFIdjkT0CsYYd01M70btva5y_086MMKWjjU62suY2-A6z_P7dSBGrSYJ9bciE-ORzm56_t2Fni9acuzqofCh9f1p1W9AABRVb-xo2CYuHb1xEjNntN8H948yMf43b5-z03DANarYyhx4Y/w295-h400/Century%20Studios%2010%22%20Turtleback%20on%20Ruffle%20base.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">The holidays are always a busy time at Century Studios, and this past December was no exception.

combines large expressive flowers blooming within a formal trellis. A
variety of reds tinged with blue, purple, and yellow were chosen to give
the flowers a fanciful, sun dappled appearance. The light blue
background glass at the top of the shade deepens to purple mixed with
amber at the bottom of the shade. Defining the design and unifying these
colors is the trellis with its hints of blue, amber, and green. Created
as a showroom piece in 2015 the shade is shown on the <span style="color: #a64d79;"><strong><em>Perforated</em></strong></span>
base (24" tall) and is now in a private collection. The fanciful
"pigtail" cap gives the visual profile of the lamp added interest.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span></span></p>centurystudios.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08109092624438010563noreply@blogger.com0
