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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
