• Vintage 1970's - 1990's
• Details:  This is a very popular pattern from Indiana Glass and was re-issued to be sold through  Tiara Exclusives from the 1970's through the late 1990's.  This is a very pretty pattern because of all the detail, looks beautiful on the table and can be easily mixed with other dishes. These teacups are large, probably meant for American coffee more than for English tea.  We have the cups only, no saucers.  If you're trying to collect this pattern, we hope these bring you closer to your goal.  If you've broken some cups and are left with only saucers, these should help complete your sets.

Tiara Exclusives was the brainchild of Indiana Glass Company.  They started Tiara on July 1, 1970 as a retail arm to capitalize on the home parties that had increased in popularity through Mary Kay, Tupperware and others. It was strictly a retail division, they did not manufacture any glass.  Indiana Glass was the primary supplier for Tiara (both companies belonged to Lancaster Colony Corp), but other glass manufacturers like Fenton and L.E. Smith made glass pieces for Tiara using old molds.  Indiana Glass produced Sandwich glass primarily for sale through the Tiara Exclusive brand.  Tiara Exclusive home parties came to an end in 1998. Their Sandwich Glass pieces differ from other manufacturers by the rounded (slightly curved), flowers with a single outline, the scroll is also wider at the bottom and shaped like an “M".   Indiana manufactured Sandwich Glass in other colors such as: amber, blues, teal, white, red, greens, orange and purple.
