Kokomo Art Glass

Tiffany was odd in that he liked imperfections in the glass, which up to this point had been completely transparent in appearance and now known as cathedral glass. When Tiffany was unable to convince glass makers to leave impurities in their glass, he began making his own glass. Tiffany used opalescent glass in a variety of colors and textures to create a unique style of stained glass.  Kokomo Glass, then known as The Opalescent Glass Works, specialized in this incredible new American style of glass – opalescent which Tiffany used extensively in his creations. Many stained glass innovations are attributed to Mr. Tiffany and can still be found in Kokomo Opalescent Glass today is their use of strong color, a huge variety of textures including ripple glass, mottled glass (glass with areas of opaque and translucent spots of color), and marbleized (two or more opaque colors swirled together).
