Likely an early twentieth century line, I think it is line #760, but am not 100% sure. Pretty little etch. you’d think it would be named “Carnation” as it sure looks like these are carnations.
I think this stem is the oyster cup. I have had other oyster cups and marvel at the tables folks set in the past to have a stem specifically for oysters! Must have been alot of washing up once dinner was over.
More likely a fancy fruit cup now.

I can’t imagine putting oysters in this little stem, but this is what it is called. Also called a fruit cocktail, which makes more sense.
This is Fostoria’s #6012 line and plate etch #323. Pretty little things. I picked them up somewhere in Florida. If I looked in my travel journal I could probably figure out where. I keep track of the important things in my journal – what I ate (and where) and what glass I bought (and where)!
I am guessing that the name comes from the rambling habit of the flowers.
