Why do the Tiffany stained glass look and feel very plasticy? Are they real stained glass?
This is a common question among customers. When the Tiffany glass are cut into small pieces and soldered together to make a Tiffany glass shade, the glass pieces cannot vibrate as much as they used to, that’s why they may feel plasticy. One way to proof that the shade is made of real glass is to take a blade and try to scratch the inside of the Tiffany shade where it’s not apparently visible. You will not be able to scratch it. If you drop the shade on the ground, the Tiffany shade WILL shatter. The Tiffany shades are made of real stained glass.
