Tiffany Studios Gold Favrile Glass Prisms

Each prism is composed with a faceted face and flat back. They are rounded to one end, finished with a spear end to the top, affixed with a wire for hanging. They bear a slightly crinkled finish, characteristic of the hand-wrought appearance of favrile glass. This particular style of iridescent glass was patented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1894.
