Fostoria Glass Meadow Rose Etched Candleholder

I have a confession to make. When I first saw Fostoria Meadow Rose etched elegant glass in the glass reference books I didn’t like it.  It seemed wimpy.  In person it is a peaceful beautiful patter that has a classy style all its own.

The candle holder shown here is a good example.  You can see the design of flowers and swags around a central plain spot.  Looks ok, right?   It’s much prettier than it looks, and of course I like candle holders so it is very much more than ok.

Fostoria made Meadow Rose in crystal and some pieces in a light azure blue that is stunning.  It is on the Baroque blank so you know to look for the graceful fleur de lis and curlicue handles.

I picked up a few pieces at first only because the pattern sold well online and then found out how special this is.  Now I know why it sells well!
