The Fostoria Glass Company manufactured pressed, blown and hand-molded glassware and tableware for almost 100 years. It began operations in Fostoria, Ohio on December 15, 1887, at South Vine Street, near Railroad, on free land donated by the townspeople. When natural resources declined in Fostoria, the company moved to Moundsville, West Virginia in 1891.
Production peaked in 1950 when Fostoria manufactured over 8 million pieces of glass and crystal.[ The company expanded in the 1950s, adding the crystal patterns Century (1950), Rose (1951), Wedding Ring (1953), and Jamestown (1959). In the 1960s and 1970s, the company\'s marketing campaign expanded to include boutiques and display rooms within jewelry and department stores. In addition, Fostoria published its own consumer direct magazine, \"Creating with Crystal\" during this period. All U.S. Presidents from Dwight D. Eisenhower through Ronald Reagan ordered glassware from Fostoria.
Fostoria sold off assets, stock and closed for good in 1986
We acquire all of our antiques and collectible items from estate sales. We sell them as they weredisplayed: meaning we don\'t wash, polish, or use any chemicals on them. We may dust them for photos since most are pretty dusty. If they have tape, stickers or anything elseused by the previous owners to identify them, we do not remove them either. That is up to you to decide.
And finally we are not experts in anything, we are simply buying and selling things that interest us. We do researchon each item, but it\'s often based on previous listings on , Etsy, or Replacements.com. This is how weenjoy spending time together during retirement.
THANKS for Looking!!
