This collection of Tiffin stemware is sparkling and gorgeous!<p>

From the Depression years of the 1930s, it is handblown lead crystal with a gold etched overlay on the edges. I have in total three (3) low sherbets, one (1)cordial, and a large intaglio cut design comport. The gold overlay etching is featured on Tiffin?s Minton pattern.<p>

The sherbets are in excellent shape with some gold wear due to use. The cordial has an edge chip. The comport is perfect.<p>

The sherbets are 3 1/4 inches high and 3 1/2 inches across. The cordial is 4 1/2 inches high and 2 inches across. The comport is 6 3/4 inches tall and 5 3/4 inches across the top. It has a 2 1/4-inch bowl and a lady's leg stem. The stem is hand applied to both the bowl and the foot. It os blown molded.<p>

Images are taken with and without flash. These pieces may be purchased at the group price of $150 or individually. Individual piece prices are: sherbets $25 each, cordial $15 (price reduced for the damage), and the comport, the intaglio cut piece, $65.<p>

These are rare and stunning Tiffin pieces!<p>
