<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherryhill, post: 135873, member: 70&quot;]Here&#039;s more than you need to know, but&nbsp; background.&nbsp; </p><p>This design was first issued by Adams Glass Co., Pittsburgh in 1889, they called it X.L.C.R. or Excelsior.&nbsp; Adams joined&nbsp; U. S. Glass Co. in 1891, and they (U S Glass) continued to sell the pattern for a few years.&nbsp; Sometime in the 20th Century, U. S. Glass Co. (now known as Tiffin Glass) reintroduced the pattern, possibly from old molds, possibly from new molds. (I don&#039;t know, shouldn&#039;t say) This was about Mid Century. At this time, Indiana Glass at Dunkirk Indiana also issued the same wares. Since your pieces have three mold marks they probably were made by U. S. Glass Co., not Indiana, your grandmother&#039;s recollection notwithstanding. </p><p>The color on&nbsp; your pieces is an Amber Stain, applied after the glass has been made. The pattern is also found Ruby Stained.&nbsp; Tiffin made it in a purple glass and&nbsp; a yellow glass. I&#039;m not familiar with the&nbsp; glass colors that Indiana made it. Yours, however is crystal glass with Amber Stain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
