Fostoria Water Goblet with Woodland Plate Etch

Fostoria Woodland (1)I picked up these glasses at Antiques on the Ridge, a lovely shop in Ridgeway, Ontario.  I also bought a set of unknown, at least to me stems, which I think are Baccarat, but haven’t yet identified.  It isn’t all that usual to find so many pieces of etched glassware in this part of the world, and I was pleased to find these pieces.

The etch is#264 – Woodland.  It is quite lovely, although I can’t figure out what kind of flowers are represented.  I like the scrolls and although the line – #660 – isn’t fancy, the elongated scrolls enhance the fairly plain shape.

According to Replacements.com these glasses were likely manufactured from 1922-1928.

Several years ago I was fortunate to be able to visit the Fostoria Glass Museum in Moundsville, West Virginia.  If you ever have a chance to go, it is well worth the visit.  So many beautiful items and collections!  Check out its history and location at the website of the Fostoria Glass Society of America.

Northwood Louis XV (1)Here’s another piece of early custard glass made by Northwood.  I have seen it referred to as a sauce bowl or berry dish.  The pattern is the regal sounding Louis XV Pattern.

My handy dandy custard guide – The Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 4: Custard Glass from A to Z by William Heacock – indicates that Northwood started producing this pattern in 1898.  It was also made in emerald green with gold.

The book has photos of a number of pieces including a pitcher, butter dish, sugar and creamer, etc.

Very fancy!

Tiffin Jap Lily (2)It’s funny how events unfold.  I picked up two of these stems recently.  I rarely buy two of anything any more, but they were of interest and I hadn’t seen the pattern.

Lo and behold I came across two more a couple weeks later!  I prefer to have a set of four for use or to sell.  Now…I best make sure they ARE the same.  I think the last two are still in a bag somewhere.

This is the pattern Jap Lily.  The Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum dates this piece from 1918-1934.

Line # could be 14179.
