One Fostoria pattern that is consistently overlooked and under appreciated is Coronet. You can see it’s an entrancing pattern because the super simple three wavy lines, elegant turned out feet and graceful shapes. Yet is is one of the less well known designs, both as the undecorated blank and with cut and etched adornments. Fostoria [...]

Last week I bought a large set of Fostoria Romance etched crystal, mostly stems with a few serving pieces. I like Romance for its graceful pattern of flowers tied in ribbons and bows, the lovely clear crystal and clean lines of the Contour blank. Fostoria made Romance into the 1960s so it is more available [...]

Do you know the saying “It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness”? It’s a good way to live. Somehow that is what crossed my mind when I saw this candle holder today. Normally I don’t get too profound with glass – it is after all beautiful memories. But this piece [...]

How do you like this combination of modernistic styled round forms with the delicate floral sprays cutting? This is the Nosegay cutting on Contour blank by Fostoria Glass. No surprise Fostoria made this in the 1950s – that mid century modern style demanded curvy shapes. I like the Contour shapes. That curved free form looking [...]

Bouillon cups aren’t for everyone. On the other hand, the days are long gone when you needed a hired girl in the kitchen, two maids and a cook to have something pretty on your table. Back in the day when in-home help was more common families had special dishes for special foods. They had cream [...]

Recognize this pretty etch? It is Meadow Rose from Fostoria, one of the top choices for brides in the 1950s. You may have a few pieces from your family. This pretty comport is a great way to add vintage charm to your home and it’s small enough – about 4 1/2 inches tall – to [...]

June is a happy fresh pattern, all full of flowers and ribbons and bows, and the topaz yellow color makes you feel like you stepped out into a [...]

This was supposed to be Meadow Rose turn in the Tablescape Thursday sun but I’m not happy with my table setting photos. We can admire my pretty dessert plate today. Meadow Rose is a joyful pattern – even the name makes you think of soft sunshine on peaceful lawn. Can you see the garland design? [...]

This is such a pretty plates, all curlicues and scrolls etched on crystal. The pattern is Meadow Rose from Fostoria Glass and it’s a winner. I visualize using a set of these for dessert when friends come over to play cards or for crackers and cheese when you enjoy a glass of wine. The plate [...]

This is one of my best pieces of Navarre etched crystal and it’s a treat. The upside down bouquets etched on clear crystal with swags all over look like flowers on ice. This bowl is sort of octagonal shaped with clear panels between the etched sides and it looks more formal than some of the [...]
