TSG 1895 USA Donates High-Value Tiffany Style Mosaic Lamp Base for Silent Auction at 2013 RAGSfest, The Annual Conference of Retailers of Art & Glass Supplies (RAGS) in Austin, Texas, USA
LOS ANGELES, June 20, 2013 — Retailers of Art Glass and Supplies (RAGS), a not-for-profit organization for stained glass retailers, will hold its annual conference from June 20-27 in Austin, Texas – with a vendor show on Friday, June 21, 2013, at Gallery Black Lagoon, followed by a silent auction at a restaurant the same evening, with classes from June 20-27 at Austin’s Blue Moon Glassworks. At the conference – called RAGSfest – owners and employees of retail stores that feature stained glass gather to learn new techniques, exchange fresh ideas, and inspire each other in a collaborative and noncompetitive environment. To support this worthy organization, TSG 1895 USA™ has donated a high-value, collectible edition Tiffany style mosaic lamp base in a motif that features dragonflies – and will display additional artisan lamp bases at the June 21st vendor show as well as during the June 20-27 class sessions at Austin’s Blue Moon Glassworks.

For the RAGSfest silent auction, TSG 1895 USA™ has selected its Green Mosaic Dragonflies lamp base, handcrafted based on a classic Tiffany design and composed of hundreds of individual mosaic pieces. This museum-quality brass urn base features gemstone inlays and filigree dragonflies with eyes composed of red agate. Valued at nearly $2,000, the TSG 1895 USA™ lamp base will serve as a key attraction at the silent auction – which will raise funds to offset expenses for 2014 RAGSfest.
TSG 1895 USA™ has developed an extensive catalog of one-of-a-kind gemstone products that meet exacting Tiffany standards. Led by Ms. Elaine Guo, a master artist at TSG 1895 USA™ who has two decades’ experience designing and creating products based on Tiffany designs, TSG 1895 Studio artisans handcraft a wide variety of brass lamp bases in a range of styles and sizes. All TSG 1895 USA™ products are high quality, high-value, and collectible – and each of TSG 1895 USA™ gemstone lampshades comes with a certificate of authenticity that establishes its value and origin as a limited edition fine art collectible.
