Tiffin Glass - Glassware

Tiffin is a popular United States glass manufacturer with a history dating back to 1888 with A. J. Beatty & Sons and the U. S. Glass Company. The company was purchased by Interpace and produced a line of glassware (Madeira) to complement the Franciscan dinnerware patterns. The final end came to the company in 1980 when production ceased. I also carry some of Tiffin's apothecary jars, Moon & Stars punch bowl/cups, and King's Crown glassware.

Candy/Apothecary Jars

Tiffin (aka U.S. Glass) made containers for other companies. Some held soaps; others, candy. I lump those items together here.

Fan and Diamond

Tiffin Fan and Diamond is a cut glass pattern which, as the name implies, has a fan-like spray over a diamond cut.

King's Crown

Tiffin's King's Crown came in several colors. It was produced from 1943 to 1962.

Madeira Apple Green

The glasses produced by Tiffin for Franciscan varied in color. The Madeira Apple Green glasses are a brighter green than the Citron or Olive glasses.

Madeira Citron

The Madeira Citron glassware by Tiffin was made to go with several Franciscan Pottery patterns. Try it out with the Greenhouse series, Pebble Beach or Wheat (green). It is definitely not delicate and is quite heavy.

Madeira Cornsilk

The Madeira Cornsilk glassware by Tiffin was made to go with several Franciscan Pottery patterns. Try it out with Garden Party, Sundance, Hacienda Gold or October. It is certainly not delicate but very heavy.

Madeira Ice

This clear glass Madeira Ice pattern by Tiffin was designed to go with any of the Franciscan dinner patterns.

Madeira Olive Green

Franciscan Pottery had Tiffin make glassware to complement some of their patterns. The Maderia glassware came in a variety of colors. The Olive Green color went well with many of the patterns with green accents or dark green leaves.

Madeira Pink

Franciscan Pottery had Tiffin make glassware to complement some of their patterns. The Maderia glassware came in a variety of colors. The Pink color went especially well with Desert Rose.

Madeira Plum

Tiffin's Madeira plum glassware is amethyst in color. This color goes well with Franciscan's Floral pattern.

Madeira Pumpkin

Franciscan Pottery had Tiffin make glassware to complement some of their patterns. The Madeira glassware came in a variety of colors. Madeira Pumpkin went well with dinnerware done in autumn colors such as October or any with a splash of orange. It was produced from 1977 to 1978.

Madeira Ruby

Franciscan Pottery had Tiffin make glassware to complement some of their patterns. The Maderia glassware came in a variety of colors. The ruby color is one of the most sought after and hardest to find.

Madeira Smoke

The Madeira Smoke glassware by Tiffin was made to go with several Franciscan Pottery patterns, such as Madeira, Amapola and Jamocha. This glassware is definitely not delicate and very heavy.

Moon and Stars

Tiffin did not make a large variety of items in the Moon and Stars pattern as Smith, Wright and Fenton did. So far, I have only seen punch bowls and cups in crystal, milk glass and ruby flash.

Special Thistle

Tiffin produced this Special Thistle pattern from 1924 to 1934. It is a needle etched thistle design on an optic base.

Stem 14196

Tiffin's Stem 14196 was an optic pattern. Goblets were produced in a variety of colors.
