Many people attribute the popular stained glass artwork style found in lamps, windows, panels, doors and other items to a man named Louis Comfort Tiffany who lived between 1848 and 1933. He was an American artist and designer whose name is synonymous with the Art Nouveau era. Tiffany was a painter and interior decorator. He used and promoted the copper foil method of stained glass construction that is so popular today. He is widely credited for the popularity of this method and it carries his name.

Louis Comfort Tiffany’s company made lamps, windows, doors, jewelry, metalwork, ceramics, blown glass mosaics, etc. and he founded the Tiffany Glass Company in 1885 but it no longer exists. His father, Charles Lewis Tiffany, previously had started a well known jewelry store named Tiffany & Co. in 1837.

It may be very surprising to many, but stained glass artwork has a much longer and relatively unknown history.

Stained glass panels have been found that are nearly 2,000 years old. Single stained glass panels were discovered in the remains of ancient Pompeii. Pompeii was destroyed in a volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius around 79 A.D. Many of the artifacts that were found in the ruins of Pompeii are in museums throughout the world especially in Naples, Italy.

Also, stained glass artwork like we are familiar with was also used in religious settings as early as 11 A.D. in Europe.

Thanks to Louis Comfort Tiffany for his outstanding quality and beautiful works of art and for refining and popularizing this ancient method of stained glass artwork that is world renowned today.

1848: Louis Comfort Tiffany was born into the very wealthy family of Charles Lewis Tiffany of Tiffany & Company of New York City (jewelry and silverware). This helped to propel his business and his career.

1875–1878: Tiffany worked at several glass companies in Brooklyn.

1879: He and other artists formed Louis Comfort Tiffany and Associated American Artists.

1885: Tiffany started his own glassmaking firm in which led to the demise of the Associated American Artists. Tiffany Glass Company was officially established in December 1885. It was later renamed Tiffany Studios in 1902. Louis Comfort Tiffany’s company made lamps, windows, doors, jewelry, metalwork, ceramics, blown glass mosaics, etc. Tiffany’s main competitors were fellow artists and glassmakers John La Farge, Oliver Kimberly and Frank Duffner of The The Duffner and Kimberly Company. Tiffany, La Farge, and Kimberly had all worked at the same glasshouses in Brooklyn from 1875 to 1878. Subsequently there were many other artists who became proficient in this style of glass work.

1893: Tiffany built a new factory, called the Stourbridge Glass Company and later called Tiffany Glass Furnaces, which was located in Queens, New York. His work was exhibited at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. This provided a worldwide platform for his unique products which further promoted his business.

1894: He introduced the term, Favrile glass (hand made) at his new glass factory and later trademarked the term in 1894. He would later use this term for all his work in glass, ceramic and enamel.

1895: Tiffany’s first commercially produced lamps date from around 1895. Much of his company’s production was in making stained glass windows and lamps but his company designed a complete range of interior decorations. At its peak, his factory employed more than 300 artisans.

1905: Tiffany designed his own 84 room house, Laurelton in Oyster Bay, Long Island and furnished it with many of his works.

1932: The Tiffany Studios closed for business.

1933: Louis Comfort Tiffany died

1949: Laurelton Hall and 60 acres of land were donated to his foundation for art students.

1957: Laurelton was destroyed by a fire.

It has long been a common practice to match slag glass lamp shades, Tiffany type shades and others to various lamp bases that were not the original. Another common practice has been to place an unsigned shade on a signed Tiffany lamp base and pass the entire lamp off as a “Tiffany”. Many if not most lamps and shades are referred to as Tiffany lamps simply because the style is similar to that of an original Tiffany lamp.

Many experts agree that most lamps called Tiffany were not actually made by Tiffany. This will continue to be an ongoing issue which all sellers and buyers should be aware. Knowledgeable collectors are already very aware of this. There are many lamps that are signed but that are not authentic. Identification of Tiffany leaded lamps is a subjective process that few people are qualified to do. You will find that a Tiffany lamp and shade with correct markings, attributes and documentation commands a very premium price as compared to any lamp that looks like or that is “attributed to Tiffany”.

A rare authentic Tiffany lamp has sold for over $ 2,000,000, so you may want to hold onto that old lamp your mother gave you !

Can you help improve my poem please about ice art, c/c?

The landscape outlook, bleak, harsh night
Against a cold, clear cobalt sky,
As further falls are forecast soon,
The drifting snow will stack up high.
No movement in our little street,
As neighbors choose to stay inside,
To keep warm heart, in bitter blast,
Unwelcome is this new veiled bride

The landscape in the bleak, harsh night,
against a cold, clear cobalt sky,
with further fallings still to come
will soon see snowdrifts stacked up high.
No movement in our little street,
as neighbours choose to stay inside
to keep feet warm, in bitter blast,
unwelcome is this white-veiled bride.

The darkness turns to morning light,
and sun ablaze, a glow intense,
a gift is left for me to view,
high-hanging on the trellis fence.
Iced needles spiked like shards of glass,
catch golden beams of leaded light,
and make clear tiers of chandeliers
from frozen water, stunning sight.

Suspended pendants, beaded blown,
keep me in awe throughout the day.
And then I notice ice in thaw,
my gift will soon just melt away.
I feel a stab within my heart,
the drip, drip, drip begins quite slow,
like tears those tiers of chandeliers,
drop from the fence, to earth below.
