      Hi Jeanine. Some of the artists that worked at Zephyr Glassworks were John Curtis, Chris Todesco, and Mark Cantor who created lampshades and tiles of antique quality. The glass studio was at 303 Potrero in the Sash Mill (closed 1984) and some of it's products included opalescent, patterned, irridescent, cameo and intaglia articles.

      Seen a beautiful deco shade made by them on ebay which looks made for a reproduction statue lamp.
