Tiffany
A reinterpretation of glass tradition, this technique bears the name of Architect Louis Comfort Tiffany, who conceived it at the end of the nineteenth century.
This technique uses tinwork to hold glass pieces together rather than lead solder. This apparently insignificant variation, actually revolutionized art glass, allowing the creation of previously unattainable form. It is no coincidence, that the technique became emblematic of the Liberty and Art Nouveau period, with soft floral scrolls and natural curvilinear motifs.
The use of light and ductile metals in thin jointing allows the creation of a wide variety of objects, from large windows to objects and lampshade, such as those that made L. C. Tiffany famous.
