Fostoria RomanceIsn`t this pretty.  I bought 14 of these pieces and I hope to sell them to someone who is looking for a gorgeous wedding present.

I have never owned anything in the Romance etch before.  It is very much like Fostoria`s June etch.  I gather however  that Romance was never made in colors, while June was made in pink, blue, yellow and green I think (I used to own a blue bowl which I am now sorry that I sold!)  The blank used is different and if you look at the pattern closely enough you can see the differences between the ribbons.Fostoria Romance (2)

Romance was produced between 1942 – 1971, while June had earlier production years – 1928 – 1951.  

Very lovely and would great at the head table of a wedding!

We went to the Santa Claus Parade yesterday and afterwards wandered around the shops.  The local St. Vincent de Paul shop had four of these stems for sale.  I knew I had seen the stems in a book so thought I’d pick them up.

Turns out that they are a Fostoria blank – #5099/5299.  I am guessing that the 5099 represents the blanks with an optic and the 5299 items have no optic.  If this is accurate (and this is a wild guess) then my glasses are 5099. Replacements.com dates this stem as 1929-1936.

The colour is very pretty.

I picked up three of these tumblers in the U.S. during our trip to Tennessee.  I had never seen these in the flesh, per say, before.  Normally I wouldn’t buy three of anything, but they were pretty and inexpensive.

I think this is an etch that is easy to find, if it appeals.

Hard to photograph the entire glass but I wanted to show the full etch.
