Glass & Pottery Creativity

Louis Tiffany Expo early in his career, became very interested in the production of bright colors, innovative glass art. In the literature Posted by Tiffany said that research in the development of these techniques of glassmaking began in 1872 in New York. Asked Tiffany Using Italian glass producers training Venetian contract. In 1878, Tiffany founded the firm of Louis C. Tiffany & Co., a firm specializing in creating rich clients developed interiors decorated homes and commercial institutions. Tiffany incorporated an element in these projects were the use of iridescent glass tiles. They were used as surrounding the fireplace, decorative screens and decoration of the wall. The tiles were molded and manufactured in different sizes, with different decorations. The colors of these pictures including opalescent green and transparent iridescent blue and gold, and solid colors like black, red and orange with swirls of fabulous color. Subsequently Product Tiffany glass tiles for use in lamps and other decorative objects. Some of these pictures included scarobs, Turtleback tile, iridescent glass prisms and glass linenfold (which looked like a folded cloth).

Roughly between 1892 and 1924, crystal vases and bowls made were produced by Tiffany Furnaces, Corona, Queens. People often speak of three general periods of production glass. The first period was roughly between 1892 and 1900 was the period when most experimentation was conducted in form (form), the color and apply special effects and incorporated into the glass. The intervening period was the period when most of the Art Glass has occurred. The delay period, which lasted from 1916 to the end of the company in the late twenties was far more commercial and less innovative pieces were produced. Many pieces produced for the period were in pastel colors.

Louis Comfort Tiffany was the driving force for the artistic designer full glass. It is said that Tiffany can do for a very general for a work of artisans and would then use this concept to create more complex and detailed representation of the work, which will ultimately require the approval before production was launched Tiffany.

In 1894, Tiffany has recorded his "Favrile Glass" of trademarks and patent purposes. The term coined in reality does not refer to a color or type of glass, but many different colors and textures of glass are used in producing its various products, including windows, lamps and decorative objects.

Most blown glass vases are signed at first. A paper label was applied to identify production by the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company. In the early stages of the production of many parts were numbered sequentially from 1 to 9999. In about 1894 pieces began to be numbered with a letter prefix, followed by a number. The letters A to Y (n Z). For example, in 1894, the prefix A and B have been used! Prefix 895 C and D. .. until around 1905 with the prefix W and Y. In this initial period of approximately 2 letters have been used per year. Following this a number followed by a suffix has been used (about one letter a year from 11,906 in 1928). Some special notations, including the use of X for experimental EX, exposure, or (small) to special order, A-COLL pieces made for Tiffany's personal collection.

Some types of glass that were produced were decorated with glass, agate, Cyprus, Lava, paperweights, glass and Aquamarine.

Decorated glass was the product of the time. The decoration may vary from several small lines in a complex BACKGROUND solid "King Tut" decoration in which almost all the surface of the piece was decorated with lines around randomly. Some styles include special decoration peacock feather eye of the zipper decoration, floral decoration with different types of leaves and stylized flowers.

Cypriot glass, probably was inspired by the look of antique glass that had been unearthed after being buried for hundreds of years and had taken over an area of irridized raw. The surface of the crater, as it often had irregularities that resembles the surface of the moon.

Rinse the vessel, which is dark blue black background to apply three-dimensional designs in gold, which is to simulate the flow of lava .. They are very rare and valuable

Agate Glass, who was made to look like agate, with several bands of color and form in layers. Often these vessels have been several more components to create unusual effects with color.

Crystal glass paperweight was essentially transparent with floral or geometric color were created internally to give the appearance that the design element was under water or floating in the glass as on the clipboard to use in our offices

Aquamarine glass is similar to glass paperweight with decorations often aquatic internal matter such as fish, which seem floating in the glass.

Cameo glass is a technique that when the glass is made of a layer of color applied on top of another. In the process of finalizing the design color was created by the superior court to reveal the bottom often cutting techniques in flower color.
