Scarce Pair of Tiffin Golden Banana Crystal Canterbury Wine Stems
The Tiffin Golden Banana color is one of the rarest crystal colors produced by Tiffin. The golden banana color seems fluid, changing in intensity with the thickness of the glass. The color is extremely unique. Both in excellent condition. Offered as a pair.
The Canterbury pattern was originally made by Duncan Miller Glass and Tiffin glass bought the pattern shortly before Duncan closed. Advertised as part of the “Franciscan” crystal line and developed to go with the Franciscan stoneware table settings made by an affiliate company of Tiffin. Circa 1978-1980.
Image two shows the original sticker which read “Franciscan Fine Crystal”. The sticker is no longer on the foot. High quality crystal.
These beautiful Tiffin Golden Banana Canterbury stems are large enough to be used as water goblets. Measure 6″ tall, 3.75″ wide mouth. Hand blown with applied stem. Nice substantial high quality crystal with sharp “ting” when plucked. Contrasting thin and thick sections (see vessel base) gives the glass brilliance.
