These pretty plate etched stem, #6017 was produced by the Fostoria Company of Moundsville, West Virginia, from 1942-1971. The etch is Fostoria’s #341 Romance.

I think this is the first time I have ever had any pieces in this etc, although I can’t remember for sure!  It is pretty and of course resembles the “June” etch in many of its details.  My understanding is that the bows are the significant difference.

If you want an audio/visual description of the differences between the two etches check out this video by Catlady Kate.

I have recently returned from a fabulous vacation in Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama.  As usual we wandered through antique and thrift shops.  For the first vacation ever, I bought not one single piece of glass.

I saw a few pieces of interest but they were too costly for my purse.  Antique stores in the New Orleans’ French Quarter were crazy, crazy expensive.  Lots of glass, but it was primarily to be found in large chandeliers.

Oh well, it is difficult to bring much back in a suitcase when you are flying.

I found this pretty piece somewhere in Ontario.  Very elegant.

This pretty yellow glass was produced by the Fostoria Company of Moundsville, West Virginia, likely between 1933-1935. The etch is #318 – “Springtime”and the shape is line #891.

I had not seen this etch before I picked this up in Fort Erie at a little shop (forgotten the name) on Jarvis Street.

When I saw it – Navarre and Meadow Wreath sprang to mind, but of course it was neither.  I’d not seen this etch in the past.  In fact I rarely come across Fostoria pieces in yellow.  The photo doesn’t do the colour justice.
