VALENCIA Gold Optic 4 3/4" Cocktail Champagne Coupe Glass Tiffin Franciscan VTG

Description: This is a coupe glass, considered to be a champagne / tall sherbert glass, from Tiffin Franciscan in their VALENCIA pattern. This pattern features a gold band with an embossed pattern. Stem style appears to be Tiffin's 14196-slightly rounded where stem connects to base, straight-ish sided stem, slight flare where it hits bowl. Bowl is a soft tulip shape with a slight flare at the top. Measures: 4 3/4" in height A hair over 3 7/8" in upper diameter of bowl. 2 1/4" ish bottom of bowl to top edge (I got this measurement by resting bowl on table top and measuring to edge. This may be the determining factor for some of you because a glass can be a certain height but have widely varying bowls!) 2" ish (hard to get exact here!) bottom of bowl to top edge. Condition: Visible wear to gold but o cracks, chips, or scratches to glass. Bottom gold verge line is almost invisible. Some wear to top edge of gold from use. Wear to pinstripe under top gold band. A few worn spots on very top gold. No blemishes on outside of top gld band but interior of glass shows some scratches on gold as if some monster took an abrasive to it for cleaning. NOT SUPER OBVIOUS under casual inspection. Would still look great with a drink in it. The crystal is shiny and the optic effect is very beautiful.

AND they are not AI-generated! I want the Buyer to know exactly what they are getting, so I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the photos and descriptions. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminished shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, no signs of past use and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item. Problems: In the event of a problem, please contact me asap. I want you to be happy with your purchase! Returns: Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase. Buyer pays return postage. No refund will be given if item arrives broken or damaged, so please pack returns very carefully. Feedback I leave feedback within a week after your item is received. If you are considering leaving neutral or negative feedback, please contact me first! I appreciate the chance to make things right. If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items? WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help! Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their bodies, education, careers, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
