Full of artistic sense!8 inch Tiffany Wind Owl table lamp handmade stained glass to create dreary light and shadow adapted to the bedroom dormitory restaurant hotel and other Tiffany retro style classic art home decoration

I. Tracing the Origin of Brand and Style

(1) The Origin of the Tiffany style

The Tiffany style originated in the United States at the end of the 19th century, with stained glass art as its core feature, and was further developed by Louis Comford Tiffany. This style breaks the monotony of traditional glassware by cutting, splicing and welding glass, and integrating materials such as metal and resin to create colorful and dreamy decorative lamps. It has become a classic model of the combination of art and practical function, and still holds a unique position in the field of decorative art after a hundred years. Our 8-inch Tiffany style owl handmade table lamp It is precisely a tribute and innovative interpretation of this classic style.

(2) Integration of brand concepts

Although we do not rely on traditional big brands, we adhere to the artistic essence of the Tiffany style, with the concept of "interpreting art through handcrafting and lighting up life with light and shadow". Focusing on infusing the warmth of handcrafting into each table lamp, we hope to bring a unique artistic atmosphere to the home space through the owl, a spiritual image, combined with Tiffany's colored glass craftsmanship. We aim to allow consumers to experience the charm of the collision between handcrafted art and classic styles in daily use, and create personalized decorative lamps for the new era.

Ii. Analysis of Core Product Parameters and Materials

(1) Basic dimensions and specifications

This desk lamp is exquisitely designed in size. The diameter of the lampshade is 8 inches (approximately 20.32 centimeters), which is in line with the positioning of "8-inch Tiffany style". The overall height is about 50 centimeters (20 inches), and the diameter of the base is about 15.7 centimeters (6.2 inches). The slender lamp post combined with the exquisite lampshade does not take up too much space. It is suitable for various home scenarios such as desks, bedside tables, and dressing tables. Whether it is a cozy corner in a small apartment or a decorative embellishment in a large space, it can blend in perfectly.

(II) Detailed Explanation of Key Materials

Youdaoplaceholder0 glass: The lampshade is made of Stained glass, the soul material of the tiffany style. We carefully select glass raw materials with high light transmittance and strong color stability. Through cutting techniques, we divide the glass of different colors into shapes that match the owl pattern. The glass colors are specially formulated, including transparent milky white, deep dark green, fresh light blue, etc. When splicing, the tin welding process is used to weld the glass sheets into a complete owl-shaped lampshade. When light passes through, due to the differences in the colors and textures of the glass, it refracts rich and dreamlike light and shadow. During the day, it is a colorful decorative item, and at night when it is lit up, the light and shadow fall. Create a warm and artistic atmosphere.

Iron art: The lamp post part is made of ironwork material and is produced through multiple processes such as forging, bending and grinding. Ironwork has good toughness and strength, and can be shaped into beautiful curved forms. The "S" -shaped curved lamp post that supports the lampshade not only ensures structural stability but also adds an artistic sense of lines. The surface is treated with a retro aging process, presenting a simple metallic luster that matches the retro charm of the Tiffany style. Meanwhile, the durability of the ironwork ensures that the lamp post is not prone to deformation over long-term use, providing a solid support for the table lamp.

Resin base: The base is made of resin material, which is easy to shape and has a warm texture. Through mold casting and meticulous carving in the later stage, a base with retro patterns is created. The patterns are delicate and vivid, adding artistic details to the product. Compared with metal bases, resin has a moderate weight, ensuring the stability of the desk lamp when placed while reducing the overall weight, making it convenient for transportation and placement. Moreover, resin has excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining its appearance and texture over long-term use, and is less likely to rust or be damaged due to environmental factors.

Power cord: Equipped with a power cord of 163 cm (64 inches) in length, made of high-quality copper core material, it has good electrical conductivity, ensuring stable current transmission and reducing the risk of heat generation. The outer layer is wrapped with environmentally friendly PVC material with strong insulation, which is wear-resistant and bendable, extending the service life of the power cord. It is suitable for different socket distance scenarios, making the placement of the desk lamp more flexible. The switch is set on the power cord, making operation convenient and allowing you to control the on and off of the lamp at any time.

Iii. The entire process of handcrafted production techniques

(1) The design draft is born

At the beginning of the creation, the designer delved deeply into the classic elements of the Tiffany style and combined the owl's symbolic meaning of "wisdom and spirituality" in culture to sketch the design draft of the desk lamp by hand. First, determine the main shape of the owl, making its expression vivid and its posture cute and playful, and integrate it into the circular outline of the lampshade. The ironwork curves of the lamp post were further planned, complemented by leaf decorations that echo the resin patterns on the base. After multiple rounds of modifications, the overall style was ensured to be unified. It not only inherited the artistic genes of the Tiffany style but also endowed it with the cuteness and vitality of modern aesthetics, laying a foundation for subsequent handcrafted production.

(2) Colored glass treatment

Cutting stage: Based on the design draft, workers select glass plates of corresponding colors and use professional glass cutting tools, such as diamond glass knives, to precisely cut along the outline of the pattern. When cutting, it is necessary to control the force and Angle to ensure that the edges of the glass fragments are neat, which is convenient for subsequent splicing. This step tests the manual skills of the workers. Even the slightest deviation may affect the final pattern presentation. Taking the cutting of owl wing glass pieces as an example, it is necessary to precisely fit the shape of the feather texture to ensure the smoothness of the pattern after splicing.

Grinding process: The edges of the cut glass are sharp and need to be ground. Place the glass sheet in the grinding machine and use abrasives of different mesh sizes to gradually grind the edges from coarse to fine, making them smooth and round. Manually assist in adjusting the position of the glass to ensure uniform grinding. This step not only guarantees usage safety but also makes the glass fit more closely when joined, enhancing the overall texture of the lampshade. After grinding, the glass sheets have no burrs when touched, creating favorable conditions for tin welding and joining.

(3) Shaping of iron lamp posts

Forging and bending: High-quality ironwork materials are selected and heated to an appropriate temperature. Then, artisans use tools such as hammers and pipe benders to carry out forging and bending operations in accordance with the curve shape of the design draft. For instance, when shaping the "S" curve of a lamp post, it is necessary to precisely control the bending Angle and force, and make repeated adjustments to ensure the curve is natural and smooth. Meanwhile, when creating leaf decorations, forging is used to present the texture of the leaf veins in the ironwork, enhancing the three-dimensional effect. Every bending and forging step relies on the artisan's experience and manual skills, endowing the ironwork lamp post with a unique artistic vitality.

Surface treatment: After the ironwork is formed, rust removal and grinding are carried out to eliminate surface impurities and burrs. Subsequently, a retro aging process was adopted. Through methods such as soaking in chemical solutions and manual wiping, a simple metallic color and texture were created, giving the iron lamp post a texture that has been refined by time. Paired with the colored glass lampshade and resin base, it enhances the retro atmosphere of the Tiffany style. At the same time, the aging treatment can also improve the anti-rust ability of the iron to a certain extent and extend its service life.

(4) Resin base construction

Mold making and casting: According to the designed base pattern, a precision mold is made. The mold material is selected from high-temperature resistant and easy-to-demold silicone or metal materials. Inject the prepared resin raw materials (such as mixed curing agents and color pastes) into the mold, and use a vibration table to remove air bubbles to ensure that the surface of the base is smooth and the patterns are clear after molding. Resin pouring requires control of temperature and time. Under different environmental temperature and humidity conditions, the curing parameters should be adjusted to ensure the stability of the base quality. The base taken out of the mold initially presents a retro pattern shape, preparing for subsequent processing.

Carving and finishing: The resin base formed by casting is finely carved by hand to deepen the pattern details and make the texture more vivid and realistic. Using small engraving tools, follow the pattern trend to carve out variations in depth, remove excess resin edges and corners, and trim the edge of the base to make it smooth and round. This step relies entirely on manual labor. Craftsmen need to be patient and meticulous to transform the resin base from a "finished product" into a "work of art", perfectly blending with the overall style of the desk lamp.

(V) Assembly and Quality Inspection

Component assembly: First, firmly connect the ironwork lamp post to the resin base through screws or welding (depending on the connection structure), ensuring that the lamp post is vertical and the base is stable. Next, install the colored glass lampshade. Use a metal frame and soldering technology to fix the lampshade at the top of the lamp post. Adjust the position of the lampshade to ensure its level and stability. Finally, connect the power cord and test the smoothness of the circuit. Throughout the assembly process, workers must strictly follow the process standards to ensure that all components are tightly connected and function normally.

Quality inspection: After assembly is completed, multi-dimensional quality inspection is conducted. In terms of appearance, check whether the colored glass is tightly joined without any gaps, whether the surface of the ironwork is evenly aged, and whether the patterns on the resin base are clear. Functionally, test the sensitivity of the switch, the brightness and stability of the light, and check the insulation of the power cord and the safety of the plug, etc. After passing through multiple layers of inspection and eliminating defective products, every desk lamp leaving the factory is guaranteed to have good quality and artistic appreciation value, allowing consumers to receive handcrafted artworks that stand the test of time.

Vi. Usage and Maintenance Guide

(1) Safety Precautions for Use

Power supply compatibility: When in use, ensure that the power supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the desk lamp to avoid damaging the internal circuit due to excessively high voltage or affecting the lighting effect due to excessively low voltage. When plugging into a socket, make sure the plug is in good contact with the socket to prevent safety hazards such as short circuits and overheating caused by poor contact. If the socket is not in use for a long time, it is recommended to unplug it and cut off the power supply to ensure electrical safety.

Heat dissipation and placement: After the desk lamp is lit, the colored glass and the lamp body will dissipate a certain amount of heat. Flammable items such as paper and fabric should not be piled up near the lampshade or lamp post. The placement should be stable and far away from children's play areas to prevent children from touching or pulling the desk lamp, which may cause it to tip over and get damaged, or even lead to safety accidents. At the same time, avoid frequently moving the lit desk lamp to prevent the wires from loosening and the glass from shattering.

(2) Daily cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning frequency and tools: It is recommended to perform surface cleaning every 1-2 weeks. When cleaning, first turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Use a soft dry cloth (such as a microfiber cloth) to wipe the dust off the surface of the lampshade, lamp post and base. For stubborn stains on the colored glass lampshade, you can dip a small amount of neutral cleaner (such as a mild detergent solution), gently wipe it, then rinse it clean with water and dry it with a dry cloth to avoid water residue eroding the metal parts or resin.

Special material maintenance: For colored glass lampshades, avoid using hard objects such as hard-bristled brushes or steel wool balls for cleaning to prevent scratching the glass surface and damaging the tin soldering joints. If there is a slight rust on the iron lamp post, it can be gently sanded with fine sandpaper and then a small amount of anti-rust oil (such as sewing machine oil, which needs to be wiped clean to avoid contaminating other components) can be applied. The resin base should be kept away from strongly corrosive liquids such as alcohol and banana water to prevent the surface patterns from being corroded. Daily maintenance should focus on "gentle wiping, avoiding damage and moisture-proofing" to extend the product's service life.

(3) Troubleshooting and Simple Maintenance

Common Faults and Troubleshooting: If the desk lamp does not light up, first check if the power cord is properly plugged in and if the switch is turned on to rule out power connection issues. If the power supply is normal, check whether the bulb (if it is a replaceable bulb type) is damaged and try to replace the bulb for testing. If there are no issues with the bulb or power supply, it might be that the internal circuit soldering points are loose. Professional personnel are required to disassemble and inspect them. It is not recommended that non-professionals disassemble them by themselves to avoid damaging components or causing safety problems.

Simple maintenance suggestions: For loose glass plates of lampshades (falling off at non-welded areas due to slight loosening caused by external force), after cutting off the power and cleaning the contact surface between the glass and the metal frame, use a small amount of transparent glass glue (neutral and non-corrosive material) to stick and fix them. Wait for the glue to dry before use. The iron lamp post is slightly deformed If it does not affect the structure and usage, you can try wrapping it with a soft cloth and gently correcting it manually (with moderate force to prevent breakage). For complex faults, it is recommended to contact professional after-sales service to ensure the quality of maintenance and product safety.
