Title: Tiffin or Cambridge Square (?) Crystal Trophy Vase or Urn
Post by: horochar on September 23, 2011, 11:54:40 AM

Looking for help to identify this really nice piece I recently picked up.  Who produced it and when? It's very thick and heavy and could be mistaken for Steuben, except for it has mold lines. I think it has a faint grey/smoke color. Measures 8 3/4" tall.

Thanks,
Charles.

Neither one...its Heisey #5012 square vase.

Thanks Ohio.  Funny thing is I was just about to pose the question as "Tiffin or Heisey," but at the last moment subbed in Cambridge, just because I learned about their square line.  I think I did o.k. on this investment, although I do note that examples that fetch healthy prices at auction seem to be decorated and not plain.  No matter, it's a "keeper" for the collection.  (Wish I could go back in and modify title of my original posting to assist future information seekers).
