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 [...]

Earlier blog post I told the story of the older couple who sold me their Cameo depression glass because “their daughters didn’t want it”. The couple never used the glass so no one had memories tied up in it. I have this glass now and will list it for sale so someone else can treasure [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This is one of my finds from antiquing at a brick and mortar antique mall. I have no idea what it is but it’s a neat design and an interesting shape. I thought it made a wonderful stem for a wedding gala or formal dinner or New Year’s Eve. The picture isn’t the best, is [...]

If you’re like me you wonder why glass companies would have sold special pieces just for iced tea. Do people drink enough iced tea to warrant a special stem? And why isn’t there a special glass for sodas or lemonade? Elegant glass companies made their beautiful vintage stemware long before soda became a daily drink. [...]

This week I wanted to share one of my favorite elegant pink pieces. We’ve seen lots of pink depression glass lately and it’s time for a classic stately piece of glass. This pretty goblet is Fostoria Versailles etch. Can you see the bowl with the gorgeous fan and scroll etch is pink and the stem [...]

One of the reasons I like vintage etched stemware so much is the sheer variety. Contemporary crystal might come in a few shapes – a couple goblets, maybe a champagne flute or tumbler – and the older patterns had special pieces for each type of wine or iced drink. Take Fostoria’s Navarre etched crystal, made [...]

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 [...]
