    The difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass is that one relates to a brand and the other is a type of glass. 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. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Tiffany glass and other stained glass pieces.
