Autumn Leaves Ball Lamp

Century Studios is pleased to present a new original shade design, the 8" Autumn Leaves Ball on Doric Column base. 

Bill Campbell designed this compact shade to capture the brilliant colors of the trees that surround us at this time of year.

The 8" shade has a non repeating design of branches and leaves set against a blue sky. We rolled the sky glass at our Century Studios furnace in the early 2000's. Our furnace has long been out of operation, and this is the last of this particular wispy blue sheet glass we had left. 


Every angle of the shade presents colorful surprises as the leaves overlap with one another as can be seen in this bird's eye view. 

The shade is mated with the Doric Column Torchiere base. The base is 6.5" square at the bottom, the shade is an 8" ball, and the overall height of the lamp is 20.5" tall. This lamp is currently available for purchase from our studio showroom. NOTE: The lamp has been purchased since this posting was listed and is no longer available.

Lamp of the Week: 22" Geometric

The 22" Geometric shade is a large, impressive shade that can be created in any coloration. For this piece, we began with a deep red at the top and gently shifted the color to a rich amber tone at the bottom. The brickwork configuration of the glass tiles gives the shade a calming appearance. This lamp was commissioned by a local client in 2020 and is shown on the study Bamboo base (27" tall).

The 16" Indian Basket shade is a Century Studios adaptation of a 24" Tiffany Studios chandelier fixture. Commissioned in 2013 by a client in North Carolina, the design weaves patterns of deep blue and red against the off white body of the basket. The shade is shown on the Grooved base.

Bat Lamp

The 17" Bat is one of Tiffany Studios most unique shade designs. This sculptural shade consists of three bats with outstretched wings flying against a nighttime sky. The shape of the shade mimics the bat wings, lending an air of drama and mystery to the design. Two evening stars appear in the sky.

The bats are rendered in a rich brown mottled glass. The bat bodies and heads are accentuated in cast bronze, enhancing the three dimensional look of the shade. The evening sky shifts from green tinged with blue and purple down to a deep nighttime blue.

Three bronze bronze bats are cast in relief around the bottom of the Bat Mosaic base (18" tall). The base is decorated with a mosaic inlay of blue lustre glass which reflects the light from the lamp. This lamp was commissioned by a client in Texas.
