Indiana Glass-Tiara Kings Crown?
interest website with catalogs and articles re: King's Crown pattern:

Tallcakes I looked at this website and also at glassloversglassdatabase.com, just to see if I could teach myself something, and all I can say is I am more confused now than ever. Wow. How in the world do you do it? Getting back to this post though, I found a set similar to this as being "Lancaster Colony Corp" - is that what this is? And is it kings crown? Or just thumbprint? Or both? I must say, I think I'll just leave glass to the glass experts LOL.
@MFT : I agree with your assessment of Tiara 'King's Crown'. Tho' Tiara wasn't a glass maker as it was just a home marketing subsidiary of Indiana Glass. AND since Indiana Glass was purchased by Lancaster Colony, the maker designation can become murky; tho' most folks default to Indiana Glass. The pattern is sometimes called a thumbprint pattern because of that motif in the pattern. But let's not forget that this is a reproduction of the original 'Excelsior or X.L.C.R.' pattern by Adams & Co. c1891.
Tallcakes, when I grow up I want to be as "glass-smart" as you are LOL; Just kidding, I am learning as I go but boy, do I have a long way to go! Thanks again for responding/educating us - so very much appreciated, MFT
