Tiffany founded the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in 1892 and located the Tiffany Furnaces which developed and produced his unique method of glass making in Corona, Queens, New York. It was managed by English immigrant Arthur Nash who was already a skilled glassmaker.

After much experimentation and development, Tiffany received the patent for Favrile glass in 1894.  Inspired by early Roman and Syrian glass he made the first Favrile objects in 1896. Tiffany's Favrile glass won the grand prize in the international 1900 Paris Exposition.

In addition Tiffany Studios produced an extraordinary line of fine bronze and silver decorative items, jewelry, lamp shades and legendary stained glass windows.
