Kings Crown was originally named Excelsior when it was introduced by the Adams Glass Company during the late 1800s. The Kings Crown pattern due to popularity, was produced by both the Indiana Glass Company and Tiffan Glass, which was originally called Excelsior. Tiffan used a flashed glass method to add color and staining was applied to the glass as opposed to solid pieces. Tiffan glass is distinctive by using three mold marks on the bottom of their glassware (image 7), whereas other makers used two mold markings.

This set is truly a remarkable set in a smashing color tone of pink cranberry that will make a statement in any tabletop setting and highly collectible.
