eannette Petal Swirl and Tiffin Dolores Cut Crystal Vintage Stemware
Welcome to Tablescape Thursday. Today we have something different for you, a table full of ultramarine teal depression glass and Tiffin cut crystal stemware captured in photos and a video.
The teal glass is Swirl from Jeannette Glass. It’s a simple design that looks great in the rich ultramarine glass. How do you like the graceful cut stemware with the plates and cups. The swooping line of the cut leaf spray picks up the swirl and scalloped rims on the plate, and the little faceted wafer in the stem looks grand with the circles in the plates and the angled cup handle.

My mom had these linen place mats as far back as the 1950s. The cheerful vintage design is yellow with blue and green. There’s not a trace of teal anywhere but they look good with the vintage glass and stemware and I like the sunshine colors. The only down side is the plates look green from the yellow peeking through.

Tiffin Glass, like a lot of stemware and dinnerware makers, used their favorite pattern names for more than one pattern. This cut stemware is the Dolores cutting, a simple line of stylized leaves. A second Dolores pattern is etched and looks nothing like this cut crystal; the glasses have different shapes and the etch is sort of a wreath. If you buy glass online always check the pictures and not just the description or title – you wouldn’t want to order cut Dolores and get the etched stems.

Jeannette’s Swirl glass has never been reproduced so don’t worry about that. The only thing to be careful of is the ultra marine color varies a little and you may see pieces that are a little greener than the ones on this table.

Very elegant table. My sister gave me that Ultramarine sugar/creamer set many years ago. Those are the only pieces I have.
