Antique, Rare and Collectable Tiffany Glass for Sale.
Louis Confort Tiffany first became interested in glass making around 1875 and worked at several glasshouses in Brooklyn between then and 1878. In 1879 he joined with Samuel Colman and Lockwood de Forest to form 'Louis Comfort Tiffany and Associated American Artists'.
His desire to concentrate on art glass led to the breakup of the firm in 1885, when Tiffany chose to establish his own glass making firm later that year. Tiffany used opalescent glass in a variety of colours and textures to create a unique style of stained glass.
Tiffany patented his unique type of iridescent glass, named ?Favrile? which is german for handcrafted in 1881. The glass was sprayed with metallic lustres to create an opalescent and multi-dimensional finish.
In 1997, Christies auction house sold a tiffany Lotus lamp, formed from a delicate arrangement of stained glass, for a record-breaking ?1.5 million. However, it is still possible to find more affordable objects produced by the Tiffany Glass company.
