History

The Tiara Exclusives line was headquartered in Dunkirk, Indiana and was adjacent to the Indiana Glass Company, which was also owned by Lancaster and produced the bulk of the Tiara line. Some pieces were also made by Fenton Art Glass and L.E. Smith. More limited pieces were made by the Duncan and Miller Glass Company.
Sandwich Glass
-
Most of Tiara's products were copies of the Sandwich Glass pattern. These Tiara patterns were reproductions of glass items made during the Depression years. Depression glass was popular in the 1920s and Tiara revived that interest in the 1970s.

The primary color of Tiara Sandwich glass was amber, but the company called it "gold" or "golden amber." Tiara also sold Sandwich glass in clear, light "chantilly" green, teal "spruce" green, dark "bicentennial" blue and pale peach.
