Louis Comfort Tiffany is most famous for his stained glass windows, which can be found across the world and in many Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

People also know his lamps, too, but many are unaware that he created mosaics, vases, jewelry, metalwork and desk sets. This beautiful work never went on public display, because it was snapped up by wealthy tycoons sought the best in home furnishings during the industrial revolution.

That will change when the traveling exhibition "Louis Comfort Tiffany: Artist for the Ages," opens Sunday at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Oakland.
