Maker’s Background:

Founded in the early 20th century in Tiffin, Ohio, Tiffin-Franciscan Glass became one of America’s most admired producers of fine crystal and decorative glassware. Known for their detailed hand-finishing and rich gilded motifs, the company’s mid-century collections merged European refinement with modern American style. The Lenox pattern was among their most elegant, often used for celebratory glassware and formal dining settings. After Tiffin’s closure, these pieces became prized by collectors for their craftsmanship and enduring vintage appeal.

Ideal for serving Champagne, sparkling cocktails, or classic drinks like the French 75 or Sidecar, this coupe also makes a striking display piece for vintage barware collectors. Best cared for by gentle handwashing to preserve its gold detailing, the Lenox Tall Champagne Coupe is an elegant nod to a bygone era, perfect for those who appreciate heirloom quality and timeless design.
