Favrile glass
is a type of
iridescent
art glass
designed by
Louis Comfort Tiffany
. It was patented in 1894 and first produced in 1896. It differs from most
iridescent
glasses because the color is ingrained in the glass itself, as well as having distinctive coloring. Favrile glass was used in Tiffany's
stained-glass
Windows and lamps
Tiffany founded his first glassmaking firm in 1892, which he called the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company. The factory, Tiffany Furnaces, was located in
Corona, Queens
, New York and managed by the skilled English immigrant
Arthur J. Nash
. It was here that Tiffany established his unique method of
glassmaking
: treating molten glass with metallic oxides that absorbed into the glass and created a luxurious iridescent surface effect.
Tiffany received the patent for Favrile glass in 1894.The first Favrile objects were made in 1896.
In 1865, Tiffany traveled to
Europe
, and in
London
he visited The South Kensington Museum, later renamed the
Victoria and Albert Museum
, whose extensive collection of
Roman
and
Syrian
glass made a deep impression on him. He admired the coloration of medieval glass and was convinced that the quality of contemporary glass could be improved upon.
At the
1900 Paris Exposition
, Favrile glass won the grand prize in the exposition.
Favrile is different from other iridescent glasses because its color is not just on the surface, but embedded in the glass.

The original
trade name
Fabrile
was derived from an
Old English
word,
fabrile
, meaning "hand-wrought" or handcrafted. Tiffany later changed the word to
Favrile
"since this sounded better".
Some of the distinguishing colors in Favrile glass include "Gold Lustre," Samian Red," Mazarin Blue," "Tel-al-amana" (or Turquoise Blue), and Aquamarine.
