Fostoria Spartan (3)The photos absolutely do not do these stems justice.  The green is a deep, rich shade.  Very pretty.

I bought these on our Florida ramble at Pineapple Pattis in Fort Pierce.  (Stop by when you are in the area).  I got five.  Unfortunately the sixth was chipped.  They had sherbert/champagnes too, but I took a pass on them.  Now…I am a wee sorry.  But we were flying and I didn’t want the bother of packing things up myself, so I didn’t buy them.  I did ask about the store’s shipping, but even they said the cost was unreasonable.  Anyway – they might still be there!Fostoria Spartan (4)

These pieces were produced from 1927-1940.  You don’t see the water goblets online often.

Fostoria’s “Green” is very attractive and these glasses look great on a shelf in my blue hued office.

Unknown Needle Etch with SwagAwhile back I posted a covered candy dish that my guy arranged to acquire at an auction.  This single piece was also included in the box lot that was purchased.

It has pretty etching with floral, swag details.  Pretty basic shape.  I’ve not even posted this as I am probably am unlikely to find anyone that recognizes it.  I Unknown Needle Etch with Swag (2)think this will have to be added to my Needle Etched Museum (of unknown pieces).

It is pretty.  I don’t know why these etches ‘speak’ to me, but they do.  I think I enjoy the image of the craftmanship behind the decorations.

Unknown Etch on Unknown Covered DIsh (3)My guy and his pal went to an auction awhile back.  They have the okay to buy any needle or plate etched pieces for me, if the price is right. The pal stayed and picked up a box lot of pieces.  Unfortunately alot of them were chipped but I still scooped a number of pretty pieces including this one.

I believe it’s a candy dish.  I am not certain if the lid belongs to the dish, but it fits perfectly.  I have posted it and asked for ID help, but no luck so far.  Unknown Etch on Unknown Covered DIshSomeone suggested that it could be a Tiffin piece, but I have not identified the blank or etch.

I like the shape very much.
