Favrile glass

Favrile glass is a type of art glass developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characterized by its luminous, iridescent quality, achieved through a special process of applying and fusing metallic salts during glass formation. This creates a shimmering, colorful surface that changes appearance depending on the angle and light. Favrile glass is valued for its unique, handcrafted aesthetic and was used in lamps, vases, and decorative objects. Its distinctive appearance combines craftsmanship with innovation, making it a highly collectible and admired form of art glass.
