Tiffany Glass: Painting with Color and Light includes twenty Tiffany Studios leaded glass lamps, five large stained glass windows, hanging shades, and three forgeries modeled after Tiffany’s iconic lamp designs, all from The Neaustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. For more information about the exhibition and The Neustadt Collection, check out the Woodson Art Museum’s free app and videos on our Youtube Channel. Two exhibitions from the Woodson Art Museum’s glass collection juxtapose the intricate, feminine designs of the Victorian Era with the more modern and restrained aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period. Enduring Beauty: Art Nouveau Glass features bold iridescent glass in sleek undulating forms typical of the decorative, yet utilitarian, turn-of-the-twentieth-century glassware. Victorian Art Glass Baskets also from the Art Museum’s collection, feature bright colors “woven” throughout delicate glass reminiscent of frills on tutus and unfurling flower petals.

On account of the absence of distinguishing marks, the origin of these quaint old flasks and bottles and teacup plates has heretofore been en- shrouded in doubt. Whether they were oi foreign or American production, none could posi- tively say. Those whose interest has been aroused in this subject have felt the need of a manual which, while throwing some light on the factories where these objects were produced, shall furnish a refer- ence list of known designs.

Under the name Tiffany Glass Company, Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company, Allied Arts, and Tiffany Studios, Tiffany and his extensive team produced a wide variety of decorative and functional objects, most notably lamps and stained-glass windows. Tiffany was widely heralded for his innovation, particularly in the production of colored glass, but the recipes used to produce the firms’ glass are still relatively understudied from a scientific point-of-view. Additionally, Tiffany relied to some extent on external production houses like Opalescent Glass Works (now Kokomo Opalescent Glass) in Kokomo, Indiana but a number of questions remain as to how extensive this practice was. The present study employs a combinatorial analytical approach to identify colorants and determine glass composition to better understand—both qualitatively and quantitatively—the materials and the processes employed in the production of Tiffany glass and to potentially differentiate those produced by other glass firms. For this study hyperspectral imaging, Raman microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry are used in concert on samples taken from Tiffany Studios’ Hartwell Memorial Window, a monumental stained glass in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.

  • Tiffany Stained Glass Windows at the Theodore Parker Church Dr. Mary
    Tiffany Stained Glass Windows at the Theodore Parker Church Dr. Mary Ann Millsap Before talking about the stained glass windows, let me first introduce you to the buildings that house them.1 This is the Theodore Parker Unitarian Universalist Church on the corner of Centre and Corey Streets in West Roxbury! On the far right side is the Parish Hall, while the main Sanctuary is to the left, with entry through the tower doors. Before we move inside for a virtual tour of the windows, first some background to understand how the Tiffany windows made their way into what was designed primarily as an English parish church. A period of incredibly rapid economic development and prosperity followed the Civil War that set the groundwork for the modern US industrial economy. In fact, the period of 1870 to 1893 saw the greatest period of economic growth in American history. An explosion of new discoveries and inventions took place as well – telephone, phonograph, electric lights. It was an age of business enterprise and successful businessmen. Major urban centers underwent enormous growth. Between 1870 and 1900, Boston’s population, for example, more than doubled – from 250,000 to 560,000. Such growth had two major consequences for this story. One was population shifts, the creation of residential communities clustered along train routes some distance from the city center. What this meant for West Roxbury (formally incorporated into Boston in 1874) was that the family farms, originally settled by Puritans, were either bought by very successful businessmen and turned into estates or were subdivided into relatively large homes for relatively successful businessmen who then commuted into the city on the train.
