If you have a wedding gift to buy you know how difficult it can be to find something meaningful that the couple will enjoy yet is different from everyone else’s present.  One solution is to give gifts of vintage stemware.

Couples may not think to put vintage patterns on their wish lists, but many are requesting dinnerware and china.  With the huge variety of old stemware to choose you’re bound to find a design this is appealing and will blend well with their dinnerware choices.  And now with the internet you can find enough pieces and be confident the new owners will be able to find more stems or accessory pieces for years to come.

As an example why vintage stemware is such a good choice take a look at the tumbler shown.  Isn’t this a pretty design?  It’s Meadow Rose from Fostoria Glass.  You cannot find such a beautiful pattern or such quality etching or crystal today.

If you expect to buy more gifts for the couple down the road, Christmas or wedding anniversary times, then selecting a pattern like Meadow Rose instantly gives you an ongoing easy gift idea.  Fostoria made a complete line of stemware including goblets, sherbets, several sizes of tumblers, champagnes, cocktails.  And if you get tired of buying stemware, then consider candle holders, bowls, relish tray or more.

If you like this idea then check our vintage stemware at Cat Lady Kate’s Elegant and Depression Glass.
