Every tiffany lamp shade was handmade by many skilled professional craftsmen and are not machine- produced that’s what made it so exclusive. The lamp first caught eye when Tiffany displayed these lamps in byzantine- like chapel and from there slowly he gained popularity in the German as well as French market. It was in Queens where Tiffany designed and produced these glass lampshades. He employed 100 of artisans and craftsmen.
Due to Tiffany’s great influence on the designing and production of lampshades the term ‘Tiffany lamp’ is used for reference of stained leaded glass lamps even if they were not produced by his company. And now we’ve a lot of dupes of this well known and beautifully crafted stained / camed glass lampshades.
They distributed his lamps into 7 categories on the basis of cuts and designs of the glass pieces which are glued together to form a shape or pattern. They mainly worked with floral or geometric motifs and its said that more than 300 lampshades were designed and were available in his studio.The most famous lamp shade were Tiffany dragonfly,Tiffany butterfly and Tiffany peacock lamps which are carved lampshades with beautiful floral patterns and motifs.
It is said that no two pieces of Tiffany glasses were same. It was one long sheet of glass and if on one end you find a yellow shade on the same sheet at the other end you will find a burning red-orange color.
You all must be wondering what is this copper field technique ( initially we were there also). So let’s proceed with little bit of information about this technique and how Tiffany used it to make his so famous lampshades.
(i)First the pattern is traced and then artisan hand cut the glass into tiny little pieces.
(ii)Then each piece is sharpened and carved in the shape of the mosaic pattern that is required.
(iii)Each piece of glass is then cleaned, made smooth and copper field.
(iv)Glass pieces are then applied to the copper foil and each mosaic piece is put place within the fibre glass mould.

(v)Then the shade is soldered inside and outside for strengthening.
(vi)Then it is waxed to protect and cover the solder from oxidization and is than polished to give the shine and lustrous look.
So this is what the process of copper field technique combines of. Everything and each step is hand done nothing is machine done or processed. This is why all the design of Tiffany lamp shade were unique and extravagant. Rich colours are used, exquisite workmanship, smooth and generous patterns, soft and dazzling lighting and luxurious and rich modelling. These all are the many reasons why Tiffany lamp shade were so desirable and were expensive also because of the process and labour used to make one but equally unique lamp shade
The very best Tiffany lamp shade have melodiously composed shades from a mosaic of hundreds of individually selected glass pieces. We can still find a very good Tiffany lamp at market or at auctions in the $100,000 -150,000 price range.

Sometimes you will find a little oil on your glass lampshade replacement when you order the piece that is because oil is used to cover the surface after copper field technique so as to protect the glass pieces used for making the tiffany lamp shade from oxidization. Just take a soft cloth to wipe off the excess oil on the surface.
