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 [...]

This is really an unfair comparison! This week’s tablescape is a vignette of two serving pieces, both center handled serving trays, both Fostoria Glass, both etched with ribbons, bows and pretty flower bouquets. Which one do you like better? What a dilemma! When you go to a lunch that serves dessert – in this case [...]
