Pressed glass cups in 'Chantilly Green' from the Sandwich pattern by Tiara Indiana Glass
History
The Sandwich pattern was produced by Indiana Glass Company and later marketed under the Tiara brand from the 1960s through the 1990s. This particular 'Chantilly Green' color was a popular variant of the classic Sandwich design, which featured intricate pressed floral and scroll motifs reminiscent of early American pressed glass from the 19th century. These pieces were widely distributed through home party sales and retail stores, making them accessible to middle-class American households. These cups appeal to collectors of vintage American glassware, particularly those who focus on Depression-era style glass and mid-century kitchen collectibles. The soft green color and nostalgic design evoke memories of grandmother's china cabinets and vintage tea parties. Collectors of Indiana Glass, Tiara brand items, and colored pressed glass actively seek out complete sets and rare color variations, valuing them for their decorative charm and historical connection to American domestic life.
