MINTON Gold Optic 5" Cocktail Champagne Coupe Glass maybe Tiffin Franciscan

Description: I fell down a real rabbit hole researching this. I have four similar cocktail glasses of varying sizes which are all MINTON in style. Different companies made MINTON stemware including Glastonbury-Lotus, Tiffin-Franciscan, and unknown copycats of those manufacturers. I do not know for sure which manufacturer made this piece so it is up to you to determine if it matches your existing set! Look closely at photos of pattern and measure what you are trying to match. 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: 5" in height A hair under 3 3/4" in upper diameter of bowl. 2 3/8" 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 1/2" ish (hard to get exact here!) bottom of bowl to top edge. Condition: Only very subtle wear to gold. This piece looks very good. A nice vintage piece! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE How I Assess Vintage Pieces Please note that my written descriptions are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. 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.
