Story
During the mid-20th century, the Tiffin Glass Company of Ohio mastered the art of 'fuming' glass to create this sunset-like glow, a technique that brought a touch of luxury to the average American home.
Maker / Origin
The Tiffin Glass Company was a titan of the 'Glass City' (Tiffin, Ohio), operating from 1889 until 1980.
Condition & Value
The glass appears clear with a strong, even luster and no visible cracks or heavy scratching. The lid seems to fit snugly, which is vital for value. Value is driven by the presence of the original lid and the vibrancy of the iridescent finish.
