the vintage shelf:  Spooners

2/29/2020

0 Comments

 
     Spooners are also known as spoon holders.  They were set on the table and filled with spoons. Teaspoons were used most often at meals and teatime so the spooners were just left on the table.  
Picture
 Spoon holders can be used for much more than holding your silverware at the table.  You can add some mints or nuts with a small serving spoon.  Or even add a small spray of colorful flowers.  Mini Christmas ornaments or tiny Easter Eggs would also add a pop of color to your holiday table!  Or just display them as is on a shelf!

Fostoria Glass American Pattern Line 2056

7/15/2017

0 Comments

 
​Fostoria Glass Company was started in 1887.  The factory was located in Fostoria, Ohio.  In 1892, Fostoria relocated to Moundsville, West Virginia.  Fostoria produced high quality fire polished colorless pressed pattern glass.  In addition to tableware they also produced fruit jars and an assortment of oil lamps.
This continued until the 1920's when William Alexander Baxter Dalsell, president, introduced colored tableware along with complete dinnerware sets.  For nearly a century, the company catered to and directed cosumer tastes.  The Fostoria plant closed in 1986.  
While Fostoria Glass has many popular patterns including Coin, Long Buttress and Colonial, the American pattern has remained the most widest collected pattern.  
​
Picture
Triple Decanter Set with Holder
In 1915, Fostoria introduced the American  line with 95 different items.  The cube design produces a prismatic fire in both sunlight and artificial light.  The original issue was only in clear glass.  In the 1920's Fostoria produced some colors included an opaque black and pastel colors.  These were only made during the 20's. Milk glass was introduced in the 50's and 60's.  In 1982, Fostoria introduced Ruby Glass Forstoria.  The success of the pattern led to around 340 different pieces.  
Picture
Fostoria American in Milk Glass
The American line was one of my first loves. I tend to  spot pieces of American from far away.  However, it is easy to be fooled by a look alike or reproduction piece.  Two of the more common patterns were Cubist by Jeannette Glass and American Whitehall by Lancaster.  So how to tell the difference?
  1. The best way would be a black light test.  This works on all colorless glass.  Fostoria will glow a pale yellow in a dark room with a black light.
  2. The clarity of American is super clear with smooth edges due to being Fire Polished.
  3. Most vertical Fostoria pieces have 3 mould seams. 
  4. Stop by an antique shop and handle "Cube" items.  Common pieces are the creamer and sugar bowl.  Fostoria will have rounder handles then other brands.
  5. Start with a good book on Fostoria American.  I recommend Leslie Pina's Fostoria American Line 2056, A Schiffer Book for Collectors. (Be ready to drool!)  ((The above pictures are courtesy of this book))
  6. When all else fails, ask a trusted collector or dealer.  
Check out some of the Fostoria I have for sale at the moment!
