Isn’t this pretty? This topaz bowl was made by Fostoria. The pattern is line #2430 – Diadem and the etch is #283 – Kashmir.
The diadem base is so interesting. 
Unfortunately this piece has a number of chips along the diadem but are somewhat hidden. The benefit of an intricate design!

I have shown this solid blank with the Willow etch which is very pretty. This etch is made up of three bands of circular shapes.
I have had these glasses for a long time and am trying to go through my inventory of ‘not yet identified’ pieces.
The book Fostoria Stemware: the Crystal for America by Milbra Long and Emily Seate is very useful for identifying both blanks and decorations.
Colfax is line #6023 and the etch is #94 Spencerian.

I apologize for the lame pun, but this piece really is majestic. It has such a deep rich colour, a great shape and a pretty etch.
The etch is #732 and the line number is 531.
