Here’s an all over crystal table to show how a place setting would have looked for lunch 60 years ago. Contemporary hostesses often combine crystal plates with china, allowing the crystal to add sparkle and style with the china giving a solid backdrop. This was less common when Tiffin Glass made this lovely cut glass [...]

Today we have a small table setting with just a few pieces of elegant glass. The plates are cut crystal from Seneca Glass and the etched water goblets are from Cambridge and the combination makes a pretty luncheon table. Can you imagine a glass of white wine served with crystal plates full of salad with [...]

Today let’s revisit two of our amber / topaz yellow glass tables, the Patrician amber depression glass dinnerware and Fostoria Trojan topaz luncheon set. These are bright and sunny sets that will make you smile. They remind me of each other and I hope you enjoy seeing them together. Isn’t this set pretty? It’s Patrician, [...]

Today’s table combines three Haviland Limoges china patterns with etched crystal goblets from Cambridge Glass and topped off with a green crystalline glaze vase from artist Dave Eickholt.

No, this isn’t a bad romance novel or a blog about country western music. It’s about one of the neatest pieces of glass we just listed in our store, the oval pickle dish in Fostoria’s Romance etched crystal. I like all the Romance etch glass we have. I like the pretty flowers and ribbons and [...]

Is it Meadow Rose or is it Navarre? How can you tell? These are two of the most popular Fostoria designs and they look a lot alike. Read this to learn how to tell them apart. Fostoria Glass made both patterns on the same blank, which is a fancy way to say they used the [...]

If you read this blog then you know I’m a fan of relish dishes and divided serving pieces. You’ve seen depression glass relish dishes, etched relish trays, pink relish trays, crystal relish trays… and the list goes on. The one today is a knock out. This is Fostoria Glass Heather etch. The pattern it’s [...]

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 [...]

This elegant crystal cup and saucer is Candlewick from Imperial Glass. Candlewick was Imperial’s mainstay for years and was issued in several lines, each a slightly different shape. The beaded rims or handles were the common thread among the myriad pieces. You may have a piece or two of this pattern even without realizing it [...]

We’re having a little wine and cheese party today. Let’s use Navarre etched crystal, one of the most collected glass patterns from Fostoria. I don’t have many pieces, just enough for a glass of wine, a plate of crackers and a glass of champagne. The goblets are the claret wines, larger than the regular wine [...]
