Tiffin-Franciscan June Night Etched Water Goblet

This is a fine lead crystal water goblet featuring the 'June Night' pattern (number 17351) produced by the Tiffin Glass Company, later Tiffin-Franciscan. The piece is characterized by a high-clarity clear glass body with an elegant conical or flared 'V' shaped bowl. The defining feature is the delicate, intricate acid-etched floral motif covering the exterior of the bowl, which includes detailed blossoms and trailing foliage intertwined with flowing ribbons and bows. The stem is of a multi-part construction, notably featuring a pressed round knop with a diamond or waffle-texture pattern, flanked by faceted connector rings, leading down to a wide, flat circular base. This specific pattern was introduced in 1941 and remained popular through the mid-20th century, representing the height of American Depression-era and post-war elegant glassware. The craftsmanship is evident in the sharpness of the etch and the lack of visible mold seams on the bowl itself. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or 'clouding' of the crystal; however, close inspection for flea bites on the rim or base is standard. These pieces are highly collectible for their classical aesthetic and superior glass quality compared to standard utility glass of the same period.
