What is the difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass?

The difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass is that one relates to a brand and the other is a type of glass.

Because there are many reproductions on the market, it is often wise to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with the identification process.

What is the difference between stained glass and painted glass?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.

Stained glass is colorful glass made by adding metallic oxides to molten glass during the blowing process. Named after Louis Comfort Tiffany who established Tiffany Studios, Tiffany glass involves a technique where copper foil, rather than the traditional lead oxide, serves as the joining material for individual stained glass pieces. Another key characteristic of Tiffany glass is that it often has an opalescent effect that creates variations in color and texture across its surface.

By comparing the marking on your piece to images of hallmarks found on authentic items shared on trustworthy websites, you can begin to identify your glass. The base can provide an additional clue if your stained glass piece is a lamp. Many Tiffany lamps have a gray metal ring located under the cap. If you spot one, your piece may be made by Tiffany.
