We recently completed a window based on John Singer Sargent’s 1885-86 painting titled Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. The painting, now in the Tate Gallery, depicts a pair girls lighting lanterns at twilight. The painting took Sargent such a long time to complete because he only worked on it out of doors at twilight. This meant…
Here are two recently completed projects which were commissioned by clients. The first is a Chain Mail Lantern Wall Sconce. A little smaller than our regular Chain Mail Lantern, our local client ordered a matching pair of wall sconces for use on either side of a fireplace mantle. The amber 16″ Turtleback shade was created…
The 22″ Trumpet Vine shade is a large turban shaped lamp covered in a profusion of blossoms. This piece was commissioned by an overseas client and it is now on its way to their home. Large floral shades take quite a bit of time and planning to create. Much time was spent picking the glass…
Springtime daffodils were Louis Comfort Tiffany’s favorite flowers and he had banks of these sunny flowers lining the drive to his Long Island, New York estate. The 20″ Jonquil Daffodil shade shows two varieties of daffodil – the large yellow trumpet variety in the upper half shelter the delicate Narcissus with their faces open to…
The warm amber tones of this 14″ Dragonfly shade are accented by the cranberry colored dragonfly wings and multicolored jewels in the background. Commissioned by a West Cost client, this shade is shown on the small Tree Trunk base.

A classic Tiffany Studios design, the 16″ Turtleback shade features a decorative band of hand cut “turtleback” tiles against a geometric ground. The simplicity of the design is enhanced by the jewel like quality of the turtleback band. Recently purchased by a West Coast client, the shade is shown on the Square Turtleback base.
With few original examples known, the 14″ Daffodil shade is a rarity amongst original Tiffany shades. Created at our studio in 2005, this example packs a lot of different kinds of glass into one small shade. Fracture, ripple, streaky and ring mottle glass blend together harmoniously to create a lively color scheme. The shade…
This past week we completed and shipped two commissioned 10″ shades. Both shades are shown on the Ruffle base. The 10″ Acorn has a dramatic color shift from white to cherry red. This piece was shipped to an overseas client. The 10″ Turtleback shade went to the West Coast to be used on an antique…

The background glass was cut from an unusual piece of fracture glass and the flowers have a dappled sunlight effect. The blended color scheme is accentuated by the deep amber borders. The shade is shown…
