Swirled leaves dance across the bowl, each one cut separately as if blowing in the wind — this is Tiffin's "Lyndley" pattern, easy to confuse with sibling patterns Carillon and Sonata, but distinctly its own.

The cut pattern forms swirled leaves dancing across the bowl, each leaf separate rather than continuous. Lyndley is often confused with Tiffin's Carillon and Sonata patterns; we've photographed the pattern in several different light settings and positions to help with identification.
This drinkware set transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary evenings, inviting an air of refined celebration to your table. The generous bowl size also makes these a great choice for serving punch, sangria, or any cocktail that calls for a larger glass than a standard stem.
Tiffin began as a division of U.S. Glass Co. in the late 1800s, one of two new factories built to produce blown glassware, stemware, and dinnerware; the Tiffin, Ohio plant was the sole survivor after depression-era closures elsewhere. By 1950 all pieces carried the Tiffin name via paper label, though the parent company retained the U.S. Glass Co. name until reorganizing as Tiffin Art Glass Company in 1963. Continental Can Company purchased Tiffin in 1966, selling it to Interpace Corporation in 1969 — the period that produced the "Tiffin-Franciscan" mark, since Interpace also owned Franciscan. Tiffin was sold to Towle Silversmiths in 1979 and renamed Tiffin Crystal, which shut down on May 1, 1980.
