“Tiffin Glass Company in Tiffin, Ohio produced glass for Franciscan patterns after Interpace acquired Tiffin Glass Company from Continental Can Company in 1969.
Three lines of Franciscan crystal were made to be sold with the earthenware patterns: Madeira, Cabaret, and Alfresco. Tiffin made glassware for the Franciscan Masterpiece China. Some Tiffin patterns were adapted while others created to go with Masterpiece China. In 1979, Tiffin Glass was sold to Towle Silversmiths and renamed Tiffin Crystal. All patterns created for Franciscan were discontinued. Tiffin Crystal shut down on May 1, 1980.
In 1970, Mary Jane Winans created Madeira glass prototypes developed by Roger Dera Carrere. The original glass prototypes weighed 2-3 pounds, so Mary Jane Revised the designs. Rupert Deese designed the ice bucket and other accessory items. All Madeira glassware was discontinued in 1979.”
