Origin Tiffany Tiffany lamps originate from New York. Louis Comfort Tiffany, born in 1848 in New York, was a glass artist and designer. He was known for his stained glass. In 1894 Tiffany applied for a patent on his famous Favrile glass. This is a fusion of normal opalescent white glass with clearly colored glass. This colored glass was used in stained glass windows. Many tried to mix these kinds of glass, but no one had really succeeded. Eventually Tiffany was the first to manage it. He was able to mix five different colors. Louis’s parents owned a jewelry shop (Tiffany's). Thus Louis dealt with jewelry, gemstones, silverware, etc. Before he worked in that business himself, he crossed the seas. On European soil he was inspired by countless churches and cathedrals. Especially the French and Austrian churches boasted fantastic stained-glass windows. These European influences are still visible in Tiffany’s work today. Difference between Tiffany and stained glass The difference between Tiffany and stained glass is that in stained glass the cut pieces of glass are fitted into a lead came (H-shaped strip), after which these lead pieces are soldered together. In Tiffany, the cut pieces of glass are edged with a strip of thin copper foil. The copper edges are then soldered to each other.
