• Details:  The ever popular King's Crown pattern, (aka Thumbprint and Colony Crown), offered here in Cranberry (Ruby Crown), with a gorgeous iridescent gold glow.  These Tall Sherbet cups feature the traditional ovals and zigzags markings of the Kings Crown pattern.  There is a long and complicated history of this pattern, originally introduced by Adams Glass Co. in the late 1800's, it became a very popular pattern and was copied by other glass manufacturers.  Indiana Glass introduced their Line #77, "King's Crown" in 1959.  In 1961 Indiana Glass continued to make this pattern after they merged with Lancaster Glass Corporation, under the Colony brand.  We are not experts but based on articles discussing this pattern, we believe these are from Indiana Glass, renamed Colony Crown.  Notice they have straight sides, not flared, (only a slight flare on top), have two mold marks (vs 3 mold marks on Tiffin) and the size, these are 3 1/8 inches Tall vs Tiffin 3.0 inches Tall.

Colony was a brand name from Indiana Glass, not an independent glass company.  In 1957 The Lancaster Lens Company became the Lancaster Glass Corporation when they acquired a controlling interest in Indiana Glass.  In 1962, as part of a reorganization, Indiana Glass Company became a subsidiary of Lancaster Colony Corporation, the Colony brand was used to market the glass produced by Indiana Glass.  Under the Colony name they issued many different patterns, some of the best known include: Harvest, Park Lane, Crown / Kings Crown, Whitehall and others.  Lancaster Colony Corporation closed the Indiana Glass plant in Dunkirk, Indiana, in 2002.  Today, the Colony brand is still recognized and highly collected.
