Tiffany lamps with their distinctive nature-based and other motifs have become such an icon of American design that the term is applied to virtually any lamp with a leaded-glass shade. The curator of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass showcases many examples with zoom-in details of the real McCoy--with their original identifiers--created by the famed Tiffany Studios (1902-1932) of Louis C. Tiffany. She describes the innovative materials, design, color, patterns, and processes involved in the making of genuine Tiffany lamps and other decorative items.
