Tiffany & Co. crystal and glass—vases, bowls, barware, ornaments, perfume bottles, desk accessories, and decorative objects—is one of the most counterfeited categories in luxury décor. Because genuine Tiffany crystal is renowned for its clarity, weight, craftsmanship, and refined etched signatures, counterfeiters often imitate the style while cutting corners on materials and finishing. Many fakes also include incorrect laser etching, misaligned logos, or lightweight glass passed off as lead crystal.
