I. Tracing the Origin of Brand Story and Design Inspiration
(1) The inheritance of the Tiffany style
The Tiffany style originated in the United States at the end of the 19th century and was founded by Louis Comford Tiffany. He broke through the limitations of traditional glass craftsmanship, bringing the art of colored glass splicing to the extreme, creating dreamlike and colorful lamps and decorative artworks, which have become classic symbols in the field of art glass. Our 12-inch turtle-back bamboo - Bronze green table lamp deeply draws on the essence of Tiffany's style and continues its ultimate pursuit of colored glass art, bringing a century-old classic back to life in modern home Spaces.
(2) The natural charm of the turtle-back bamboo element
The turtle-back bamboo is renowned for its unique leaf shape. The irregular holes and cracks on its leaves resemble natural marks etched by time, exuding a retro and artistic charm. It is native to tropical regions, symbolizing vigorous vitality and the yearning for the authenticity of nature. Integrating the turtle-back bamboo pattern into the lampshade design is an capture and refinement of natural aesthetics, making the table lamp a "miniature tropical garden" in the indoor space and conveying the tranquility and vitality of nature to the residents.
(3) The retro charm of the bluish-bronze color
The bluish-bronze color carries the weight and elegance accumulated by time. This tone is derived from the natural color of copper after years of oxidation and rubbing, with a retro filter that is highly consistent with the artistic temperament of the Tiffany style. The lamp base and lamp post are crafted in a bluish-bronze color, endowing the table lamp with a classical charm. This enables it to easily blend into various home styles such as retro, new Chinese, and European classical, making it the retro aesthetic leader in the space.
Ii. Analysis of Core Product Parameters and Materials
(1) Dimensions and Specifications
This desk lamp has a lampshade diameter of 12 inches (approximately 30CM), an overall height of about 48CM (19 inches), a lamp base diameter of 16.6CM (6.5 inches), and a power cord length of 145CM. With a moderate size, it neither loses its decorative presence due to being too small nor takes up too much space due to being too large. Whether placed beside the sofa in the living room, on the bedside table in the bedroom, or on the desk in the study, it can be harmoniously adapted, becoming the visual focus of the space without overshadowing the main focus.
(2) Colored Glass Lampshades - The Warmth of Handicraft Art
Material characteristics: The lampshade is made of high-quality colored glass. Each piece of glass has been strictly selected, featuring high color saturation and good light transmission. The color of the glass is not sprayed later, but is formed by the fusion of natural mineral pigments and glass raw materials. After high-temperature firing, the color is long-lasting and stable. Even after long-term use or exposure to light, it is not easy to fade or change color, always maintaining a brilliant and colorful visual effect.
Handcrafted process: Adhering to the traditional Tiffany glass craftsmanship, the colored glass is cut and spliced purely by hand. The craftsman needs to first mark the shape and color of each piece of glass on the design draft, then cut the glass with a diamond tool, wrap the edges of the glass with copper foil, and through welding and splicing, combine the scattered glass pieces into a complete lampshade with a turtle-back bamboo pattern. Each process relies on the experience and craftsmanship of the artisan. Even the slightest difference in force or Angle will cause unique changes in the final pattern, which also makes each table lamp unique, making it not only a lighting tool but also an irreplaceable piece of handcrafted art.
(3) Bluish-bronze lamp body - the texture of alloy material
Advantages of aluminum alloy base material: The lamp post and lamp base are made of aluminum alloy. Compared with pure copper, aluminum alloy has a lower density and lighter weight, which is convenient for transportation and installation. At the same time, it has good strength and toughness, and is not easy to deform or crack. Its surface is treated with a special process, presenting a bluish-bronze color effect. By simulating the natural oxidation process, a uniform and layered color and texture are formed on the metal surface, with a fine touch and a retro feel.
Craftsmanship details: The bluish-bronze color on the surface of the lamp body is not a simple coating but has undergone multiple processing procedures. First, the metal base is treated to ensure a smooth surface. Then, through processes such as chemical oxidation, coloring, and glazing, the bluish-bronze color is firmly adhered, presenting a natural aged effect, as if it were an antique object passed down for many years. Every texture and color change tells a retro story, complementing the handcrafted artistic sense of the colored glass lampshade.

Iv. Production Process and Quality Control
(1) The production process of colored glass lampshades
Design and material selection: The designer first draws a detailed design draft of the turtle-back bamboo pattern. Based on the color requirements of the pattern, they select the corresponding color glass materials, including basic color glass and glass with special textures and colors, to ensure that the color combination restores the natural beauty of the turtle-back bamboo while also matching the artistic tone of the Tiffany style.
Cutting and polishing: Craftsmen use professional diamond cutting tools to precisely cut the glass according to the design draft. The shape and size of each piece of glass are carefully controlled. After the cutting is completed, the edges of the glass are ground to remove sharp edges and corners, making the glass pieces smoother when spliced together and avoiding the risk of scratches during subsequent use.
Copper foil wrapping and welding: Wrapping the edges of the cut glass sheets with copper foil is a key step in Tiffany's craftsmanship. The copper foil needs to be closely attached to the glass, and then through the welding process, the glass sheets wrapped with the copper foil are joined one by one to form a complete lampshade. During the welding process, the craftsman needs to control the welding temperature and force to ensure that the weld points are firm and aesthetically pleasing, making the colored glass lampshade both sturdy and artistically pleasing.
Post-processing: After the lampshade is welded, it needs to undergo cleaning, polishing and other treatments to remove any remaining welding impurities and stains on the surface, allowing the color and luster of the colored glass to be fully displayed. At the same time, the entire lampshade should be inspected to ensure there are no cracks, light leakage or other issues, guaranteeing its quality.
(2) The manufacturing process of the bluish-bronze lamp body
Aluminum alloy base material processing: High-quality aluminum alloy materials are selected. First, through processes such as cutting, forging, and grinding, the basic shapes of the lamp post and lamp base are formed to ensure precise dimensions and a smooth surface. Then, surface pretreatment is carried out to remove oil stains and impurities, preparing for subsequent coloring.
Bronze color coloring and treatment: The chemical oxidation coloring process is adopted. The aluminum alloy substrate is placed in a specific chemical solution. By controlling parameters such as reaction time and temperature, a bronze color oxide layer is formed on its surface. Subsequently, a glazing treatment is carried out, covering the surface of the oxide layer with a transparent protective glaze to enhance the durability and wear resistance of the color, keeping the bluish-bronze color for a long time while endowing the surface with a fine texture.
Detailed carving and polishing: For the decorative carving details on the lamp body, artisans will use manual or mechanical-assisted carving methods to present exquisite textures. After the carving is completed, it is finely polished again to make the surface of the lamp body smooth and the texture clear, enhancing the overall texture and artistic appreciation value.
(3) Quality Control System
Raw material inspection: Every batch of colored glass and aluminum alloy materials must undergo strict inspection before entering the factory. Check the color uniformity, light transmittance, thickness and other indicators of colored glass. Aluminum alloy material testing includes material composition, strength, surface quality, etc., to ensure that raw material quality meets standards and control product quality from the source.
Process inspection: Quality inspection points are set up at every key process of lampshade manufacturing and lamp body processing, such as glass cutting, welding, lamp body coloring, engraving, etc. Quality inspection personnel conduct real-time checks on the implementation of the process and the quality of semi-finished products. If any problems are found, they make timely adjustments and rework to prevent defective products from flowing into the next process.
Finished product inspection: After the finished products are assembled, a comprehensive inspection is carried out. This includes appearance inspection (lampshade color, splicing effect, lamp body color, texture, carving details, etc.), functional testing (power-on lighting test, checking light effect, circuit safety, etc.), size verification, etc., to ensure that every desk lamp leaving the factory meets high-quality standards, allowing consumers to receive perfect artistic home products.
V. Usage and Maintenance Guide
(1) Precautions for Use
Power supply and bulb selection: Use a power socket and bulb that meet the power requirements of the desk lamp.
