Tiffin Etch 604

Floral

It took me along time to identify this etch.  I always think it’s kind of sad for a pattern when it doesn’t have a ‘real’ name, just an etch number.  This pattern looks like a closed poppy.  You can’t tell from the photo, but even the stem is fuzzy like a poppy stem.  There are a number of poppy etches however, and perhaps it was hard to come up with another name.  Tiffin had its Flanders etch (introduced in the 1920s) and then reintroduced as Alexandria (1979) and as St. Gallen (also 1979).  Fostoria also has its Poppy/Poupee etch, and there are likely others.  I have a couple of these glasses, and a couple dessert/sherberts.

Apologies for the glare of the flash.  I had a heck of a time photographing this stem.  There are lots of etches with vases in them, but I haven’t been able to find this one.  I have two of these sherberts (?).  They have a very wide optic.  When you look into the bowl you can see that the rim has a panelled look.  Don’t know if this makes sense.  I tend to view this etch as ‘masculine’, not as pretty as others.  It is interesting and I am keen to determine its provenance.  Can’t recall where I found these glasses.

I wanted to post the two photos so that the shape could also be seen.  The shape and the etch resemble Bryce pieces, but I have never identified them and have never seen the

exact etch anywhere else.  They have a very wide optic.  The optic is the ‘panel’ that exists in stemware.  (I’m pretty sure that this is not even close to the technical definition, just my understanding)

 

It varies in width.  You can barely see the optic in this stem.  If anyone can can identify these pieces, as usual I’d be grateful.
