18" Inverted Turtleback Chandelier

Century Studios is pleased to introduce a new 18" Inverted Turtleback Chandelier fixture to our offerings. Suspended by three chains, this impressive fixture has a band of hand cut light yellow turtleback tiles encircling the top of the shade and a round turtleback tile at the bottom. The geometric portion of the lamp is cut from an amber/white rippled glass, which gives the shade an added dimensional quality. This fixture is currently available for purchase in our showroom.

Lamp of the Week: Mermail with Nautilus

One of Tiffany Studios' most unique lamp designs, the Mermaid w/Nautilus Shell is a highly detailed accent lamp. The cast bronze mermaid rises above churning sea, carrying the stained glass nautilus shell above her head. The gentle light emanating from the shell lights her way as she glides above the waves. Commissioned by a North Carolina client in 2016, the shell on this example shifts in color from amber to deep green. The lamp is 16" tall.

18" Peony

It is peony season here in the Midwest, and we were inspired by the large showy blooms to create this 18" Peony shade for our showroom. Peony flowers symbolize romance, prosperity, good fortune, a happy relationship, and compassion (in part). There are many varieties of peony flower including large single blooms and frilly pom pom types. The peony was a frequent inspiration for lamps at Tiffany Studios, and these pieces often included spectacular glass.

For this shade, we created the flowers from several sheets of stunning fuchsia color mixes. Intensely toned fuchsia glass has been expertly blended with candy apple red, royal purple, deep bubble gum pink, and milky white. These glass combinations were painstakingly scrutinized so each flower would have an individual personality while at the same time blending together in a visual ecstasy of color.

To enhance the flower colors, a background glass was chosen that has a mix of blue and yellow with an undercurrent of the deep fuchsia to pull it all together. Deep green leaves give a fullness to the design and fresh green border rows accentuate and define the other glasses in the shade.

The shade is shown on the Grooved base (26" tall). This lamp was created as a showroom piece and has been sold.

Lamp of the Week - 16" Fish

The 25" Fish Scale lamp is a generously proportioned helmet shaped shade that can be used as a table lamp, floor lamp, or chandelier fixture. The glass selected for this shade makes a subtle shift in color and density, with more opaque green glass at the top shifting into a more transparent green/light amber mix. This lamp was commissioned in 2017 by a client in California on a custom monumental Grueby-style pottery base (32" tall). Finished in a textural green glaze, the resulting shade and base make a bold decorating statement.

12" Turtleback

At Century Studios, we create Turtleback shades in many sizes and shapes. This 12" Turtleback shade was commissioned by a client in Portland, Oregon to be used with an original Tiffany base. The glass is butter yellow with yellow turtleback tiles. The shade is shown on the Torpedo base.

Lamp of the Week: 20" Jonquil Daffodil

The 20" Jonquil Daffodil is one of the few Tiffany Studios lamp patterns that incorporates two varieties of flower on the same shade. The upper half of the shade features large yellow daffodils in full bloom, with their trumpets nodding gracefully. The lower half is scattered with a profusion of delicate Narcissus blooms whose bright faces are turned upwards towards the sun. The subtle blue of the background glass and the green border tones interact harmoniously with the flowers. Commissioned in 2013 by a client in New York, the shade is pictured on the Decorated Library base (This base is currently not available).

16" Pansy

The 16" Pansy shade has four clusters of the delicate flowers set against a geometric background. The multicolored flowers are a perfect subject for representation in stained glass. For this shade, the background shifts from a light amber mixed with pale blue down to a vibrant blue with hints of yellow. Set against this colorful backdrop, the multicolored flowers playfully interact with one another. Commissioned by a California client, the shade is shown on the Greek Urn base (21" overall height).

Lamp of the Week:

The 20" Windswept Daffodil is a lively rendition of this bright, cheery springtime flower with the blooms dancing across the surface of the shade. Commissioned by a New Jersey client in 2013, this shade was created in vibrant jewel tones of green, yellow and deep orange/amber. The shade is shown on the elegant Twisted Vine base (24.5" tall).

16" Dragonfl

The 16" Dragonfly is a signature Tiffany Studios lamp design and one of our most popular shade patterns. For this shade, our client chose a deep red background glass as the main color for the shade. The red shifts to green in the lower half of the shade, and green is also used as an accent border row at the bottom. The dragonfly wings have tinges of blue mixed with the green and red, and the sparkling jeweled eyes are green. This example was commissioned by a local client and is shown on the Small Stick base (20" tall).
