Story
In the roaring 1920s, the American dinner table underwent a colorful revolution as glassmakers moved away from clear crystal toward 'jewel tones' to brighten the home.
Maker / Origin
The Tiffin Glass Company was a premier American manufacturer known for producing 'Elegant Glass,' which was hand-finished to remove the unsightly mold seams found on cheaper mass-produced items.
Condition & Value
The glass appears to have good clarity without 'sickness' (permanent clouding). This estimate is for the pair.
