Due to Tiffany's dominant influence on style, the term 'Tiffany lamp' or 'Tiffany style lamp' has often been used to refer to stained-glass headlights even those not made by the Louis Comfort Tiffany company.

Histori
The first Tiffany lamps were created around 1895. Each lamp is handmade by skilled craftsmen, not mass produced or machines. The designer did not, as he had thought for over 100 years, Louis Comfort Tiffany, but the previously unknown artist named Clara Driscoll identified in 2007 by Rutgers professor Martin Eidelberg as the principal designer behind the most creative and valuable glass lamps. produced by Tiffany Studios.
Tiffany's first business venture was an interior design company in New York City, where she designed stained glass windows.
Tiffany's lamps gained popularity after the Colombian World Exposition in Chicago in 1893, where Tiffany displayed lamps in the Byzantine chapel. His presentation attracted the attention of many, especially Wilhelm Bode and Julius Lessing, the director of the state museum in Berlin. Lessing bought a few pieces to showcase at the Museum of Decorative Arts, making it the first European museum to have Tiffany glass. Although Tiffany's work is very popular in Germany, other countries, such as France, are not as they were taken because of their relationship to American crafts. Tiffany is only able to penetrate the French market by producing works taken over by Siegfried Bing, with the help of many French artists. Without Bing's access and contacts in Europe, Tiffany will not have much success selling his works to a European audience. Tiffany's success throughout Europe was largely due to the success of his work on the German and Austro-Hungarian markets through a series of exhibits that began in 1897 at the International Art Exhibition in Dresden. After the partnership between Tiffany and Bing ended, Tiffany's product interest began to decline slowly in Europe.

Design
Most Tiffany lamps can be grouped into one of seven categories:
- The top limit is irregular
- Irregular bottom border
- Favrile
- Geometric
- Transition to interest
- Flowering cone
- Flowering ball
Upper and Lower Border Lights carry the rim of the filigree crown that helps simulate branches, trees, or bushes. The Favrile category, which means handmade, identifies the first Tiffany lamp made with this label. Initial LCT , then replace the Favrile cap. Geometric categories, performed mainly by male craftsmen, speak for themselves. Tiffany craftsmen use geometric shapes like triangles, boxes, rectangles, and ovals to form these patterns for these lights. Next is the Transition group to the Flower, which is subdivided into the Flower Cone and Globe lights. All these lights follow nature, or botanically, designs using flowers, dragonflies, spiders with nets, butterflies, and peacock feathers. The difference in these two smaller categories is the difference in the form of a lamp, essentially a cone and a globe.
Production
Each lamp is prepared using copper foil method. First the pattern for the lamp is pulled out on a heavy piece of cardboard. Next the number and color of the glass is written on the pattern section. Once the pattern is drawn and labeled, the glass is placed on it and traced. Once the pattern is traced to the glass, the piece can be cut and milled into its correct shape. Next the pieces need to be cleaned so that copper foil can be smeared onto the edges. The copper foil solution allows the pieces to stick together. Once the lights are properly placed and fully bonded, the edges should be soldered together for a firm grip. Finally after the lights are soldered, cleaned to accentuate its beauty.
