20" Dragonfly

New to our showroom is this 20" Dragonfly shade. The glass selected for this shade is bright and inviting, with golden tones complimenting the lavender tinged purples. The lower border rows are created from a deep golden rippled glass, and the blue jewels add a lively contrast to the colors in the shade.

The 20" Dragonfly is shown on the Twisted Vine table base. We offer 16 different table bases for this shade in addition to two floor base options. This shade is also perfectly sized to be hung as a chandelier fixture. This lamp is currently available in our showroom.

Hollyhock Window

While Irwin has been working on lamp projects for clients, Bill has been busy creating this Hollyhock Window for our showroom.

The Impressionistic coloration of the window shows deep red hollyhock flowers in full bloom. A variety of glasses have been used including mottled, streaky, ripple, and fracture/streamer. The resulting window evokes a corner of a mature garden in the full glory of summer.



With a composition inspired by an 1863 oil painting by John LaFarge, this highly detailed window is 24" x 36". Bill composed the window to include an arched border that features unique insets in the upper corners. The insets are composed of polished quartz pebbles surrounded by one-of-a-kind fracture/streamer glass, which adds color and dimension to the window.

This window is currently available for purchase in our showroom.

22" Dragonfly

Commissioned by a couple in Ohio, this 22" Dragonfly shade has a fresh, lively color palette. The rich butter yellow glass at the top of the shade makes a dramatic shift into lavender/purple, setting off the dragonflies at the bottom. This shade design is often referred to as the "Drophead Dragonfly" because the dragonflies themselves create the irregular lower edge of the shade.

We are showing the shade on the versatile Twisted Vine base. The base has a deeply modeled, organic design that perfectly compliments shades of many different shapes and sizes. The base works equally well with 20" shades and larger 22" designs.

Recent Projects

Snow still covers the ground, but Century Studios has Spring in the air! The Studio has been hopping with many projects for clients near and far.

We created a 14" Turtleback lamp for a local client. The deep emerald green turtleback tiles are set against a geometric border of cream & green colored glass that makes a dramatic shift in color from top to bottom. The Leaf & Bud Pottery base is the perfect compliment for this shade. The pottery portion of the base was created to our specifications by Ephraim Faience Pottery and we created the reproduction metalwork.

A brilliantly colored 16" Poppy shade was created for a San Francisco couple. The warm golden background glass sets off lush poppy flowers in jewel tones of red, orange and fuchsia. The shade is shown on the Grooved base.



A local client commissioned a pair of water themed windows for his stairwell. The gently rippling pond is home to fish, frog, dragonfly and flowers. The dragonfly and fish feature filigree overlays.

Three Small Lamps

Small lamps will provide mood lighting and color accents to any room. These petite stained glass lamps brighten the decor without dominating a room.

The 7" Violet shade is a Century Studios' original lamp design by Bill Campbell. This petite lamp has jewel like presence due to its many tiny individual pieces of glass. The beautiful purple flowers are rendered in "gold purple" glasses. The most highly sought after purple and pink glasses are made by adding gold to the batch glass, which results in an intensely beautiful color tone. The shade is shown on a Duffner & Kimberly style base. This lamp is in our showroom and is currently available for purchase.

Also available in our showroom is this 7" Geometric on the Piano Lamp base. The heavily weighted base allows the shade to cantilever over the edge of an upright piano or book case, illuminating the area below.

Gently shading from off white to green, this 10" Geometric shade was commissioned by a West Coast client. The shade is shown on the 3 Armed Ruffle base.

20" Lily Pad

During the Winter months Tiffany lamps are a glowing reminder of the coming of Spring and the long hot days of Summer. There are several water-themed shade designs that evoke tranquil Summer days. The 20" Lily Pad captures this feel in a unique way.

This is possibly the only Tiffany Studios lamp shade design that is drawn in deep perspective. The lily pads on the shade are large at the bottom and become smaller towards the top. Because of the shallow cone shape, the eye is tricked into viewing this as a shift in perspective rather than in just being smaller pieces. Even though the shade has many individual pieces of glass, the effect of the design is that of being very simple.

We are showing the Lily Pad on the Grooved base.

16" Snowball Shade

Just completed, this 16" Snowball shade is a tabletop version of the large 24" Snowball lamp. The unusually deep shape of this shade is accentuated by the irregular lower edge representing the cascading blossoms of the snowball bush. We are showing the shade on our new Grooved base. The tall, slender profile of the base is a perfect compliment for this shade.

Snowball shades lend themselves to creatively mixing a variety of glasses. Ring Mottle, Streaky, Fracture/Streamer and Ripple glass all coexist harmoniously in this shade. The upper background glass was cut from an old piece of Schlitz Fracture/Streamer. This light airy glass at the top of the shade sets the tone for the entire lamp. The flower glasses are a mixture of whites and off whites, tempered with green and blush colors, while the leaves provide the deeper greens that give the shade depth.

Below is a short video showing Irwin removing the Snowball shade from the form. This is always an exciting step in the process for us because it is the first time we get to see what the shade looks like when soldered together. After the soldering is complete on the outside of the shade, the form and glass are heated, the wax holding the glass to the form softens and the form is removed from inside the shade.
