Tiffany (Tiffany) lamps, late 19th and 20th century At the beginning of the century, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), the new art leader of American applied arts, revolutionized the American stained glass industry and dominated the glass products industry. In the field of glassware design, Tiffany's achievements are unique. Thousands of churches are decorated with exquisite Tiffany glass, and the name Tiffany has become synonymous with stained glass art. Louis Comfort Tiffany was the eldest son of Charles Comfort Tiffany, the founder of the Tiffany silverware company in New York. The company has developed to this day and has become A world-renowned manufacturer of luxury goods. Tiffany was an avid supporter of Art Nouveau, the European Art Nouveau movement that was opposed to the ornate Victorian style that was popular at the time. Art Nouveau was based on nature, and its free and casual design style was reflected in Tiffany's landscape glass. The perfect combination of light, color and nature in Tiffany's works makes Tiffany even more significant to the development of American new art. Most of his works follow the flowing, elongated silhouettes of Art Nouveau, but some are influenced by ancient, Oriental and European models. Tiffany is still recognized as an outstanding artist of American New Art. In 1885 he founded the Louis Tiffany Glass and Decorative Company. In 1894, Tiffany applied for a trademark patent called Favrile (from the English word meaning handmade), and sold a variety of blown glass products under this trademark. By 1900, the Favreir vase made Tiffany famous all over the world, and his name has become a symbol of high quality glass. In the Favraire collection, handcrafted vases and other luxury objects are mostly available in vibrant iridescent colors and mimic ancient weathered glassware in varying shades of blue, green, gold and pink, or used independently. Or cleverly combined, the shapes of bowls and vases are also unique and innovative. If you want to understand the processing technology used in Tiffany's Favraire vase, you might as well take a look at Tiffany's classic Peacock Vase. This peculiar vase, with its streamlined shape, dazzling colors, and sinuous decoration, constitutes the greatest American contribution to Art Nouveau glass. Its magic is that the decoration on the vase is not added to the surface after the vase is completed, but the molten glass is added during the production process, which shows Tiffany's superb glass blowing technology. The glass blowing process is a type of vase making process. It is to melt small glasses of different textures and colors into an opaque hot glass ball, and then blow it into a predetermined shape according to imagination. During the production process, sometimes adding Color or some glass pattern decoration. These patterns are small at first, and as the air is blown, they will grow larger together with the formation of the vase, growing naturally like plants, and finally reach the predetermined position of the design. In Tiffany's eyes, peacock feathers are a very suitable material for this skill. Just like the natural feathers of a peacock, the feather texture of the vase has the depth, slenderness and smoothness of pond water. All of these are intrinsically combined with the material texture that serves as the decorative background. These peacock feathers, rich in opaque charm, and the supernatural luster this opacity brings to fine decorations constitute the unique charm of Tiffany art.

Tiffany has keen market insight and artistic sensibility. He is good at expressing art. His excellent design and strong production capacity enable him to occupy the market, especially in the religious field. A man of wealth and strong artistic convictions, windows bearing his name can be found in thousands of churches, public communities, and private homes across the United States. Today, in religious buildings, Tiffany windows are still the most artistically valuable part. They carry (express) the social history of the church at that time. Tiffany's wealth enabled him to gather manpower and material resources to engage in large-scale production. His glass manufacturing army included workers hired from Europe. The high-quality glass raw materials pushed its chemical principles to a new process, and the new results created became patented. The company eventually offered more than five thousand colors and styles of glass. His exquisite handmade glass is characterized by the Art Nouveau style, with long, slender shapes, rich colors and textures. Other Tiffany innovations include: layering glass to deepen the image of flowing water patterns, showing the hazy feeling of the pattern, or wrapping glass with elegant and fine copper foil to interpret the delicate texture of petals and leaves. He also used lead to emphasize the architectural lines of the glass. By casting, polymerizing, twisting, drawing, and overlapping the glass, the glass had a cloth-like texture. This kind of glass usually showed leaf decorations on a clear or colorful background. Patterned textures, three-dimensional grid lines and delicate mixed colors create a colorful and dazzling effect on the glass pieces. The whole piece of glass is like colorful fragments cut together.
