Tiffany lamp

So, imagine you have a lamp in your room, right? Well, a Tiffany lamp is a special kind of lamp that is really pretty and colorful.

Here's how it works: the lampshade is made out of lots of little pieces of colored glass. Each piece of glass has a different color and shape, like a puzzle piece. The pieces are put together using a special technique called "copper foil" that holds them in place.

When you turn on the Tiffany lamp, the light shines through the colored glass and creates a really cool pattern of colors on the walls and ceiling of your room. It's like you're inside a rainbow!

Tiffany lamps were first made a long time ago by a guy named Louis Comfort Tiffany. He was an artist who loved making beautiful things, and he thought lamps could be a work of art too. Nowadays, lots of people still love Tiffany lamps because they are unique and special, and they make any room look extra pretty.
