Types of Tiffany glass
opalescent glass
The opalescent glass term is commonly used to describe glass that more than one color is present, being fused during manufacture, cons flash of glass in which two colors can be laminated or silver stained where nitrate solution money is superficially applied, turning red glass with orange and blue glass green. Some opalescent glass has been used by several stained glass studios in England since the 1860s and 1870s, including Heaton, Butler and Bayne. Its use has become increasingly common. Opalescent glass is the basis of the range of glass created by Tiffany.
Favrile glass
Tiffany Favrile glass patented in 1880. The trade name Favrile is derived from the French word, Fabril, which means hand.
Favrile glass is often a distinguishing characteristic that is common in some glass of classical antiquity: it has an iridescent surface. This causes the iridescence shimmering surface, but also causes a degree of opacity. This effect iridescent glass was obtained by mixing different colors of glass together while hot.
Tiffany:
"Favrile glass is distinguished by bright or very toned, usually iridescent like the wings of certain American butterflies, the necks of pigeons and peacocks, the elytra of beetles varied."

Fracture-streamer glass
Herringbone ripple glass
Ring mottle glass
Hangings glass embedded in a reproduction of Tiffany's "Magnolia" lampshade
refers to a glass Streamer glass sheet with a pattern of strings of glass, affixed to its surface. Tiffany used as textured glass to represent, for example, twigs, branches and grass.
The banners are made from very hot molten glass, gathered at the end of a pontil (pontil) which is rapidly switched back and stretched into long, thin ropes quickly cool and harden. The banners are stretched by hand pressed onto the molten surface of the glass sheet during rolling, and become permanently fused.
Fracture glass
refers to a glass break glass sheet with a pattern of irregularly shaped, wafer thin glass, affixed to its surface. Tiffany used as textured glass to represent, for example, the foliage from a distance.
The glass plates irregular, called fractures, are prepared from very hot molten colored glass, met at the end of a blowpipe. A large bubble is blown forcefully until the walls of the bubble quickly stretch to cool and harden. The glass bubble which follows, a very thin walls and is immediately broken into pieces. These hand blown pieces are pressed on the surface of the sheet of molten glass during the rolling process, to which they are permanently fused.
Fracture-streamer glass
Fracture-streamer glass refers to a sheet of glass with a pattern of strings of glass and irregularly shaped, wafer thin glass, affixed to its surface. Tiffany used as textured glass to represent, for example, twigs, branches and grass and the distant green leaves.
The process is as above, except that the two banners and fractures are applied to sheets of glass during the rolling process.
Ripple glass
Ripple glass refers to a sheet of glass with textured surface waves marked. Tiffany used as textured glass to represent, for example, water or leaf veins.
The texture is created during the process of forming the glass sheet. A sheet is formed from molten glass with a roller that turns on itself, while traveling forward. Normally, the roller rotates at the same speed as its own movement, and the resulting sheet has a smooth surface. In the manufacture of glass reliefs, the roller rotates faster than its own movement. The wavy is taken as the glass cools.
