Tiffin Franciscan June Night Water Goblet Appraisal

Tiffin-Franciscan June Night Etched Water Goblet

This is a vintage stemware water goblet featuring the 'June Night' pattern, produced by the Tiffin Glass Company (later Tiffin-Franciscan). The vessel is constructed from clear elegant glass, likely dating from the mid-20th century, specifically between the 1940s and 1960s. The goblet stands on a distinctive #15024 'ball' stem, which consists of four stacked glass spheres or orbs that provide a modernist architectural contrast to the delicate etching. The bowl has a slight flare at the rim and is adorned with an intricate, all-over plate etching depicting a dense floral motif of daisies, leaves, and flowing vines. The etching extends across the bowl and even onto the circular base. The glass appears to have excellent clarity and brilliance, characteristic of high-quality lead or potash glass from the Depression/Elegant glass era. The craftsmanship is refined, with thin walls and a polished finish. Visible condition appears good with no significant clouding, though faint surface scratches may be present consistent with age and occasional use. There are no visible chips or cracks at the rim or base. While no maker's mark is visible, the combination of the 'June Night' etch and the specific ball stem is a well-documented Tiffin design.
