Tiffin Glass Killarney Green and Crystal Champagne Sherbet
This is stemware week here and we’re getting in the Christmas mood seeing our neighbors’ decorations and the gift catalogs in the mailbox. To honor the upcoming Christmas parties and family visits, let’s look at a set of stemware that would be perfect for cocktails and even ice cream.
This is the Killarney champagne sherbet from Tiffin Glass. Tiffin was located in northern Ohio and was part of US Glass, known as Factory R. The company went out of business and reopened as Tiffin Art Glass Company in 1962. Tiffin Art Glass produced this Killarney stem in 1966.
When I researched this I found several other Tiffin patterns called “Killarney”. All had green bowl with crystal stem and foot but the shapes varied quite a bit. This is shape number 17394 and it’s distinctive with the oval wafer in the center of the stem.
The bowl is quite deep on this, which would make it fun for drinks where you need a deep shape and of course it would be great to serve fruit or sherbet.
I hope this gives you some ideas for your Christmas decorating or entertaining friends this winter.
