Tiffin Glass

Tiffin duck on wavy base
I cannot specifically date or assign Tiffin Duck colors to any particular
maker. I can state for certain that Ducks with History Cards were produced
between 1968-1979 by Interpace Corporation and that Milk Glass Ducks
were NOT produced by Factory 'R'.
Pertaining to History cards on Tiffin Ducks: via extensive searches on the
web and through collectors, I found history cards and Tiffin labels on the
colors listed below. All cardless Ducks except milk glass may have been
made by any one of the glass companies which occupied the factory at 4th
and Vine Street in Tiffin, Ohio. I do not know who made which color. I only
list colors I have observed with history cards present. This does not apply
to carded Ducks which have lost their cards.
Interpace History Cards were
found on these colors:
Amberina
Amethyst, Light and Dark
Corn Silk Yellow
Crystal
Custard Swirl, with Brown
undertones*, UV reactive
Green Milk Glass
Green Milk Glass, slightly marbled*
Gray
Gray, with Brown swirls
White Milk Glass
Bright White Opal, (very opaque*,
with see through edges)
Vaseline, UV Reactive
Other colors possible
Pale Blue aka Ice Blue

Tiffin Ducks have eye sockets with
glass eyes, but I did discover one
Amber Duck with molded, painted
eyes which had a Tiffin label present.
Quite an anomaly!

*These color variations may have been caused by the circumstances of
a glass worker, creating a one-of-a-kind color.
