Tiffany lotus flower candle holder.

These candle holders are crafted using the Tiffany stained glass technique (also known as the copper foil method), which was invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the late 19th century.
Instead of using heavy lead cames like traditional church windows, each individual piece of opalescent glass is wrapped around the edges with thin copper foil and then soldered together with tin. This delicate technique allows artists to build intricate three-dimensional, curved geometric objects—such as the layered, upturned petals of a blooming lotus flower.
