History of Tiffany Lamps:

Louis Comfort Tiffany was the inventor of tiffany hang lamps (Hanglampen). He made the lamps by combining the cut pieces of colored glass which were gathered from stained glass windows. The glass was cut according to some pattern and the process of making a lampshade was initiated. Then after the cutting of glass, each piece was cleaned to apply a copper foil. Each piece was soldered then to make a lampshade out of every individual piece. The copper foil used in it was used to make a bonding of the lampshade and the final touch was given to produce the vibrant colored lampshade.

The lamps were of geometric, square, circles and triangle shapes. In 1900s, tiffany lamps gained a huge popularity and their demand was on the peak. The designs were limited at that time which includes Wisteria, Daffodil, Dragonfly and Peony. Then at the end of 1920, the demand for tiffany lamps reduced. But if you want to buy these lamps, you can buy as some stores still sale tiffany lamps.
