June Pattern Goblet Appraisal

Tiffin-Franciscan June Etched Crystal Wine Goblet

This is a vintage elegant glass wine goblet, identified as the 'June' pattern by Tiffin-Franciscan, likely dating from the 1920s to the 1940s. The vessel is crafted from high-quality clear lead crystal, featuring a signature bell-shaped bowl with a flared rim. The exterior of the bowl is adorned with an intricate, delicate acid-etched floral and ribbon design, characteristic of the June pattern, which includes sprays of small flowers and classic drapes. A notable structural feature is the 'beaded' or 'knobbed' stem, consisting of three stacked spherical glass elements that provide both aesthetic appeal and a secure grip. The circular foot is also decorated with the matching etched floral motif, showcasing superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. Based on visual inspection, the crystal appears to be in excellent condition with a high degree of clarity and no visible chips, cracks, or significant clouding. The etchings are crisp and well-defined, suggesting careful preservation. This piece represents the ‘Elegant Glass’ movement of the early 20th century, where high-quality glassware was produced by independent glass houses to rival fine European crystal.
