Tiffin Glass Company 'Kings Crown' Pattern Smoked Gray Wine Goblet

This item is a vintage pressed glass wine goblet, specifically identified as the 'Kings Crown' pattern (originally known as 'Thumbprint') produced by the Tiffin Glass Company. The goblet is crafted in a distinctive smoked gray or charcoal-tinted glass, a color palette popular during the mid-20th century. Physically, the piece features a deep, flared bowl characterized by a row of large, circular 'thumbprint' indentations around the lower half, which capture and refract light. The stem is structurally complex, featuring a multi-knop or 'ball' design that provides both aesthetic appeal and a secure grip, leading down to a flat, circular foot. In terms of condition, the glass appears to be in good vintage state with high clarity and no visible major chips or cracks, though typical shelf wear on the base and minor surface scratches consistent with use may be present. The craftsmanship reflects the high-quality standards of Tiffin's Ohio-based manufacturing, showcasing uniform thickness and a smooth finish. This style dates primarily from the 1940s to the 1960s, fitting perfectly within Mid-Century Modern or late Art Deco influenced glassware collections.
