Drapery glass was made by rolling molten glass onto a smooth surface to produce a flat sheet. Using hand tools, artisans pushed, bunched, and twisted the hot glass, which cooled and kept its sculptural form. The resulting glass has a three-dimensional quality that mimics the folds and drape of fabric, giving figures tangible volume and a sense of movement.

Showy Tiffany shades are usually center stage, so it can be easy to overlook how much a lamp's base shapes its personality.

Time for discussion and questions will follow their presentation.

✨Tiffany jewelry and glass in Toledo!✨

Lindsy Parrott, our executive director and curator, recently traveled to attend the Toledo Museum of Art’s () opening celebration for “Radiance & Reverie: Jewels from the Collection of Neil Lane” and to admire firsthand the Tiffany works on display.

This dazzling exhibition includes more than 200 pieces of jewelry spanning 100 years of remarkable design, and it transports visitors from 19th-century Paris to turn-of-the-century New York to glamorous Hollywood.

Stunning is the gallery showcasing some 40 pieces of Louis C. Tiffany’s art jewelry, which are complimented by a rare Lotus lamp and two small landscape windows. Tiffany’s sophisticated sense of color employed across media is on full display here: the semi-precious gemstones and delicate enamelwork featured in his necklaces and brooches are just as colorful as the opalescent-glass lamp and windows glowing nearby.

“Radiance & Reverie” is organized by the Toledo Museum of Art and co-curated by Diane C. Wright (), TMA’s Senior Curator of Glass and Contemporary Craft, and Emily Stoehrer (), Senior Curator of Jewelry at the MFA Boston. The exhibition is on view in the TMA’s Glass Pavilion through January 18, 2026.

Tiffany Studios’ “Vine Ornament” design is a brilliant example of how color selection affects a lampshade’s personality. The design’s central frieze of winding foliage might feel summery if it were rendered in greens, yellows, and blues. But by choosing to include vibrant orange with streaks of gold and green, glass selectors evoke the shift in color palette from summer to fall. Swirling lead lines and organic shapes impart a sense of movement, like the graceful descent of leaves as they fall to the ground.
