Elegant mid-century handblown crystal compote attributed to Tiffin Glass Company, Cellini stem pattern #17423 (introduced 1947).
Wide shallow bowl in Wistaria pink with clear sculptural open-void stem and ball knop. Fire-polished pontil. Excellent crystal clarity with strong ring tone.
Dimensions:
• Height: approx. 6″
• Diameter: approx. 6.5″
• Weight: 648g
Condition:
No chips, cracks nor flea bites. Hardly any surface wear despite its age. Base shows proper polished pontil finish (see photo)
Form and stem architecture match documented examples of Tiffin Cellini stem #17423 and examples displayed at the Tiffin Glass Museum.
A refined example of post-war American elegant crystal. Quite a lovely era piece indeed.
Note: I’m happy to upload more photos upon request.
