Is this lamp made with real stained glass?Why do some people say it looks like plastic?

Yes, authentic Tiffany-style stained glass — each piece is hand-cut and soldered. Some mistake the soldered seams for plastic, but it's genuine handcrafted glass.

How are Tiffany-style table lamps manufactured?

The artisan must cut large sheets of colored glass into thousands of small pieces, grind their edges, and wrap them in copper foil; then, following a pattern, they are placed into a mold and soldered together with tin.

Why do the colors of stained glass vary?

The colors in stained glass are naturally produced during the high-temperature melting process; while the overall coloration remains largely consistent, slight variations do occur—making every Tiffany lamp truly unique.

Why is there oil on the lampshade？

The surface of the stained glass lampshade has been treated with a protective oil coating, designed to prevent oxidation and extend the lampshade's lifespan. You may use a soft cloth to wipe the surface to remove it.
