Favrile glass is an iridescent art glass designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1894. Tiffany took the old English word fabrile, which means “handcrafted,” and changed the name to favrile because he liked the sound better. Favrile glass became enormously popular and was such a success that it won first prize in the 1900 Paris Exposition.
