What is the difference between manufactured designs and custom-made designs?
A. Many of the lamps and other items you see in stores are made in “assembly line” fashion. In other words “blue goes here, red goes there.” They often have the same pre-made pattern, are assembled the same way and solder joints are sometimes not the best quality. Often they are advertised as “Tiffany style” however Tiffany hand-selected each piece of glass to create a special affect. A custom glass artist can create new and original designs and hand selects each piece of glass. The quality of the finished product tends to be considerably better.
