- Details: The ever popular King's Crown pattern, (also known as Thumbprint), offered here in the Ruby color with a gorgeous iridescent gold glow. These small cordial glasses feature the traditional ovals and zigzag markings of the King's Crown pattern. There is a long and complicated history of this pattern, originally introduced by Adams Glass Co. during the late 1800's. It became very popular and was copied by other glass manufacturers. Indiana Glass introduced their King's Crown in the late 1950's. Later sold under their Colony brand as Colony Crown. We are not experts but based on articles discussing this pattern, we believe these are Indiana Glass and not Tiffin.

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.
