Louise Comfort Tiffany is the man responsible for the creation of the Tiffany Daffodil lamp. Tiffany made his first lamps in the late 1890’s. He had a love for interior design and was also an avid gardener. Louise Comfort Tiffany had the idea to use the small pieces of stained glass that were left over from the stained glass windows that he made. The pattern for the lamp shade is drawn precisely out and the small stained glass pieces were placed according to the patterns layout. It was a very long and tedious process to achieve the exact look of his artwork. After careful inspection of every detail the lamp was soldered together with the copper foil used to bond the Tiffany Daffodil lamp. The copper foil technique is used on all of the Tiffany lamps that Louise Tiffany created.



Over time, the Tiffany lamps that Louise Tiffany created seem to fall into seven unique and very characteristic categories. The Favrile category was one of the first lamps to be grouped in this way. The Favrile was a stamped label placed on each of his first artworks. The Favrile label came to be known as handmade. Louise Comfort Tiffany initials later replaced the Favrile trademark. The Irregular Upper and Lower Border design had a trademark of an openwork crown. It is suggested that this group of lamps simulates shrubbery or branches of a tree. The Geometric category used geometric shapes like ovals, rectangles, triangles, and squares. The many different shapes were used to create the lamp shades in this category. The Transition to Flowers category follows a design which might include butterflies, spiders, dragonflies or many of the different flowers found in a flower garden. The Tiffany Daffodil lamp would definitely fall into this category. The two subcategories are defined by the shape of the lamp shade, the flowered cone or a flowered globe shape. All of the many categories that the Tiffany lamp shades came to be known by are just a small part in the designing of the Tiffany Daffodil lamp.
