New York designer Louis Comfort Tiffany introduced Favrile glass in the decorative art industry. Influenced by the stained glass from the medieval period, he sought to enhance the quality of modern glass. As a result, he invented Favrile glass, an iridescent, handcrafted art glass. It is created by embedding colors inside the glass itself, producing a unique range of tones. This sets  Favrile glass apart from other kinds of iridescent glasses. In the early days, Tiffany experimented and explored the limits of Favrile glass. He discovered that when molten glass is treated with metallic-oxides, it would produce a rich, iridescent surface. Tiffany's Favrile glass vase reached new heights of accomplishment. Favrile glass is revered for its unique shapes based on naturalistic forms.
