Fostoria Glass

by Paul

Fostoria Glass is one of the big American art glass success stories. It has been in production for over 100 years and popular the whole time.

We have acquired copies of a 1901 Fostoria Glass Co. catalog as well as a 1936 catalog. We have scanned the 1936 catalog and you can see it at Fostoria-Glass.com. We hope to add the 1901 catalog soon and are always on the lookout for more of this kind of Fostoria reference material.
Between the catalogs and our analysis of current auctions we help visitors identify their Fostoria glass and figure out what it is worth.

Below are just a few of the current Fostoria Glass auctions.

I am very confused…on e-Bay today ( September 1-`16-2009), Sellers are selling American Fostoria with a hexagonal foot! All the ones I inherited from my Mother in Law are round footed in the American pattern. Please explain. Thank you very much!

In Fostoria Tableware by Long & Seate, in the American Pattern section I find :

Round Foot
16″ Footed Fruit Bowl
12″ Footed Fruit Bowl
5″ Comport & Cover
6 3/4″ Jelly & Cover

Hexagonal
Footed Mayonnaise & Ladle
Footed Candy & Cover
4 different Footed Bud Vases

Square Footed Vase

So it would seem to be possible.

Thanks for asking.
