Tiffany Glass Tiles
By Mark Chervenka\"Tiles were probably the first glass items ever designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany dating back to 1878. In that year, Tiffany launched his first business, Louis C. Tiffany & Co. Associated Artists, which was an interior decorating firm. Tiles began to be mass produced almost immediately in the Heidt glass works in Brooklyn, New York. Later, when Tiffany began his own glass works in Corona, New York in 1892, tile production was shifted there.
Original tiles were made in two sizes: 3 square and 4 inches square. The first tiles made were the 3-inch size and were made in solid opalescent colors or opalescent swirls. Later tiles, primarily the 4-inch size, had iridescent lustered finishes like Tiffany\'s art glass. Both sizes have a rectangular ridge around the outer edge where the mark, if any, appears in raised letters.
There are two types of original markings. The 3-inch tiles were marked \"PAT. FEB 8TH 1881\" in one edge and \"L.C.T. & CO\". in the opposite edge. Four inch tiles were marked \"PAT. APPL\'D FOR\" or \"PATENT APPLIED FOR\" in one edge only. There are no company records of how many or what percentage of original tiles were marked. \"
