Last post we started a series about Fostoria Chintz. Chintz is one of Fostoria’s transitional patterns, spanning 30 years from World War 2 to the early 1970s. It’s still popular today, no surprise with the lovely twining vines and roses. Fostoria used their Greenbriar stem line for stemware – a full suite including cordial, water, [...]

Recently a Facebook lady asked for information about Fostoria Chintz. I thought “sure”, after all, Chintz is one of the Fostoria patterns we specialize in and I did an entire program on it for the depression glass club. Surprise, I’ve hardly written about it. Here is the first post in a long time to cover [...]

Poppies were an important motif in the 1920s and into the 1930s. Think of Cambridge Gloria, Hazel Atlas Florentine, Fostoria Rogene.

A couple days ago I showed off a Balda green console bowl from Central Glass, just a beautiful piece, and mentioned St. Patrick’s Day. Apparently I’m calendar challenged because today is St. Patrick’s Day and time for green glass, green sweaters and yes, green beer for the adventurous. In honor of St Patrick’s Day – [...]

Fostoria originally called this fresh springtime pattern Italian Lace, then for some reason changed it to Gold Lace the last two years they made it. Regardless which name you use this is not a common pattern. The etch is on [...]

Does this look like fireworks or milkweed puffs? The big poofs look like the 4th of July, so neat. This is Fostoria Lido etched low sherbet in crystal. Our family crystal is Cambridge Rose Point, but Lido is my favorite Fostoria pattern. I like a lot of Fostoria patterns – Trojan, Romance, June, Vesper plus [...]

Most of the Fostoria glass we’ve seen here has been etched. Fostoria made many beautiful cuttings as well, including this old Large Star Cut sherry goblet. This is one of the earliest Fostoria cuttings, dating to 1904 to 1927. Fostoria used this on a wide array of pieces, mostly stemware and accessories. We’ve had [...]

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 [...]
