Hawkes & Company enjoyed great prosperity for almost the first half of the century. After World War II, however, after Samuel Hawkes retired, the company began to record financial losses. Thomas Hawkes' nephew, Penrose Hawkes, took control of the firm, but his efforts would be to no avail.
The company racked up substantial losses in the 50's and in 1962 a decision was made to cease operations. While Tiffin Glass did produce some Hawkes patterns, the Hawkes line was never developed as originally envisioned.
In 1984, Jim Maxwell, a former Tiffin Glass cutter, bought the Tiffin molds and equipment. In 1992, Maxwell began producing four old Hawkes' patterns and four Tiffin patterns under "Maxwell Crystal, Inc". In 1997 Maxwell Crystal, Inc. Became Crystal Traditions of Tiffin, Inc.
