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

From the Depression years of the 1930s, it is handblown pink lead crystal in an optic design with a gold etched overlay. Shown here in a representative place setting of three (3), I have in total three (3) claret wine glasses, six (6) low sherbets, and four (4) cordials or aperitifs available. The gold overlay etching is featured on Tiffin?s Minton pattern.<p>

All of the glass is in excellent shape. Images are taken with and without flash. The claret wine glasses are 6 ¾ inches tall and 3 ¼ inches across the top; the sherbets are 3 ½ inches high and 3 ¾ inches across, and the cordials are 4 ½ inches high and 2 inches across.<p>

These pieces may be purchased at the group price of $160 or individually. Individual piece prices are: claret wine $55 each; sherbet $40 each, and cordial $65 each. As two of the cordials have some gold wear (I will be happy to provide a photo on request), I will make some price adjustment for that as necessary. All items may be purchased for $550.<p>

These are rare and stunning Tiffin pieces!
