Vintage 1940s TIFFIN-FRANCISCAN Etched Flat Tumbler Drinking Glass
Step back into the elegance of mid-century American glassware with this Vintage 1940s TIFFIN-FRANCISCAN Etched Flat Tumbler Drinking Glass. This beautifully crafted clear glass tumbler features an intricate etched floral and geometric band around the upper and lower body, giving it a refined yet understated vintage character.
The glass is particularly attractive for its decorative pressed/etched base, featuring a radiating starburst or sunray pattern that adds visual interest when viewed through the glass. The combination of clear glass, delicate floral etching, and geometric borders reflects the timeless styling associated with vintage American tableware of the era.
Its classic flat-tumbler form makes it suitable for everyday drinks while also appealing to collectors of vintage Tiffin-Franciscan glassware, etched glass, and 1940s table settings.
Why It Stands Out
The charm of this piece lies in its fine etched decoration. The repeating flower motifs are framed by delicate looping and geometric borders, creating a sophisticated pattern without overwhelming the simple silhouette of the tumbler. The textured starburst base provides an additional decorative detail and gives the glass a distinctive vintage appearance.
Condition
Vintage condition. The glass should be carefully examined for any age-related surface marks, minor scratches, manufacturing variations, or signs of previous use. Please refer to the photographs for the overall condition and appearance.
A beautiful vintage piece where craftsmanship, decoration, and everyday functionality come together.
