Chintz Etched Glassware: Beautiful Rose Vines

Do you like roses? Then you will love Fostoria's Chintz etch. This beautiful design has roses and rose vines and leaves - even thorns - spilling over and around each piece. The look is bountiful and oh so special. This dinner plate shows the pattern - see how it fills the plate and is just gorgeous.

Take a look at this table set with Chintz to see how great it looks grouped for use.

Fostoria made Chintz etched glassware from 1940 to 1973, mostly on their Baroque blank. Baroque is the shape that has pressed fleur de lis molded around the edges. You'll find Chintz only in crystal.

Chintz stemware is the lovely Greenbriar stem, line number 6026. Greenbriar has one grooved ball near the top of the stem and two more at the base. These balls and the fine grooves aren't just for looks; they make it easier to hold onto a goblet. That's important if you're like me and find glasses slippery when wet.

One of the things I like best about Chintz are the candle holders and bowls. This first one is on the Baroque blank. It has a round base which is etched and wings on the side. Fostoria made several Chintz etched Baroque shapes and they all have the wing motif.

This next candle holder is contemporary with its smooth U shaped tube with one candle cup at each end of the tube. It is etched on its round base too.

Like the candle holders you have choices when it comes to console bowls. There are 5 large bowls to choose among. Some, like the first one shown, have the characteristic winged handles. Wouldn't this be stunning with the Baroque candle holder?

Other bowls are smaller, or are oval with wider wings. This wide flared bowl is a good example. It is 12 inches wide so you could use it as a salad bowl or as a focal point in your display.

We have many pieces of Fostoria Glass Chintz etched crystal at all times, including stemware, dinnerware, relish trays, candle holders and bowls.

Meadow Rose Etched Glassware

Do you like flowers, scrolls and curlicues? Then you will love Fostoria's Meadow Rose etched crystal. Meadow Rose is a full line of stemware, dinnerware and accessories. Many brides chose Fostoria Meadow Rose in the 1940s and 50s mostly in crystal and a few pieces of blue.

Fostoria Meadow Rose Stemware

The stemware is on a super attractive shape called Greenbriar that has raised dots on the stem with an elegant rounded shape.

This first goblet is the elegantly tall water goblet.

Wouldn't this footed tumbler be great for water, soda or ice tea?

Fostoria Meadow Rose Plates, Bowls and Candle Holders

Fostoria used Baroque plates, bowls and candle holders for Meadow Rose. Below is the lunch plate, which at a little over 8 inches across is a great size for lunch, a large salad or even a scrumptious dessert.

The Meadow Rose bowls are similar shapes to Chintz, with the etch varying. This one is a little smaller size and perfect for a couple to use.

One of the most useful pieces is the relish tray. There are a couple different shapes and this is the most common with one large compartment and two small ones. Put your favorite vegetables in two of them and dip in the third compartment for an updated twist on this retro piece.

Isn't this an elegant little piece? It's the comport with the Baroque stem like swept wings. Traditionally people used comports for candy or nuts and they are great to hold smaller accent foods like cranberries.

The candle holders are stunning. Here's one just to show it off.

Navarre Etched Crystal: Dangling Bouquets and Swags

Fostoria's Navarre etched crystal is one of the top patterns now for collectors just as it was for brides in the 1940s and 50s. It has a luscious combination of swags and scrolls surrounding an upside down bouquet of flowers. It's beautiful as you can see in this water goblet.

Fostoria used the Wilma blank for goblets and other stemware, which has interesting rows of raised beads on the stem and a subtle optic, very pretty.

Fostoria went a little retro with Navarre stemware - you can find about a dozen different goblets, sherbets, champagnes, brandy inhalers and cordials. It makes Navarre perfect choice for people who like different wines or cocktails.

Plates, candle holders and most bowls are etched on the beautiful Baroque blank with molded fleur de lis but a few are on the stately Flame blank, like this gorgeous oval bowl.

Fostoria Romance Etched Elegant Glass

Fostoria used ribbons and bows all tied around floweres for their crystal etched Romance pattern. Romance is similar to June, which is shown next in this page, but you can tell them apart because June has a second ribbon threaded through the flowers in a U shape.

Fostoria used the regal Scepter stem blank for Romance. Here is the footed tumbler, a super glass for water or sodas.

Fostoria June Etched Elegant Glass

Fostoria Glass’ beautiful June etch is one of the top patterns for collectors. Its romantic design of flowers, swags, ribbons and bows gives it a bountiful, joyous feeling that is irresistible!

You will find June in a luscious azure blue, pink and topaz yellow glass plus crystal. Fostoria made June from 1929 to 1936, which was the depression when colored glass was immensely popular. Fostoria made June during the same time period they produced Royal and Vesper which come in a darker mid blue, not the lighter azure shade of June. June's lighter azure shade is beautiful and compliments with a variety of dinnerware.

Here is one of my favorite pieces, the art deco blue candle holder with scroll top.  Elegant and choice!

Fostoria’s topaz glass is a clear primrose yellow, not harsh and not as lemon as say Hazel Atlas’s yellow Florentine depression glass is. The yellow is the gem of the group, relatively available, a little less expensive, and very nice.

June you’ll want to be aware of the usual sorts of damage, but June does not seem any more susceptible than any other elegant pattern. Fostoria etched June on the Fairfax blank which doesn’t have protruding points that are so prone to damage. You do want to be careful to check for nicks and surface wear. The blue bon bon shown in the photo is a beautiful piece of etched glass but unfortunately shows wear. Plates with June have the etching on the rims but not in the centers and unfortunately the plain centers show wear more than if there is a design.

Fostoria made two similar patterns, Romance and Satin Ribbons, but you can tell these apart from June. Look at the second ribbon in June that makes a U shape through the bouquet. Plus Fostoria only made Romance and Satin Ribbons in crystal, not in clear glass.

Versailles Fan and Scroll Etched Fostoria Glassware

Fostoria made Versailles about the same time as June and in similar colors: azure blue, topaz yellow, pink plus green. Unlike June there is no crystal Versailles. Versailles has a central fan-shaped etch surrounded by scrolls and swags. It is elegant, choice and a bit more formal than some etched patterns.

This is the Versailles etched pink rolled rim console bowl that displays the wonderful design so you can best appreciate it.

And just to show some of the other colors, this green 3-toed console bowl is stunning, one of my favorite pieces.

Fostoria used Versailles on several candle holders, including the pink mushroom one and the topaz footed flower shape shown next.

The blue, pink and green stemware are the Fairfax blank, the same as Fostoria used for June. Here is the footed water tumbler in azure blue.

Dinnerware is the Fairfax blank. Here is the blue bouillon cup and saucer set.

Fostoria Trojan Etched Elegant Glass

Fostoria's Trojan pattern is stately and one of my favorites. It's less ornate than Versailles with one large palm leaf shaped center medallion and small scrolls. You'll find it most often in topaz yellow glass and Fostoria made it in pink too.

Plates and dinnerware pieces are on the Fairfax blank, just as are Versailles and June. Here is the salad plate so you can see the beautiful etched design on the rim.

This shows a table set with Trojan, so cheerful yet elegant.

What's different about Trojan is the stemware. Fostoria used their gorgeous Art Deco influenced Waterfall stemline for this pattern. The foot and stem are crystal with a yellow bowl. Fostoria' topaz glass was particularly pretty shade of yellow, cheerful without being garish or bright.

Here are the small wine goblet and footed tumbler.

Lido Etched Crystal Stemware and Accessories

Fostoria's Lido etch looks like big poofy milkweed puffs or fireworks. It's a beautiful etch, refined yet not formal, and works well with many types of dinnerware. Fostoria used the lovely Lido etch on azure blue from 1937 to 1943 and on crystal a longer time, until 1954. They used the very attractive Scepter stemware blank for Lido goblets and tumblers. Scepter has stacked pointy wafers near the top of the stem that add sparkle. Here is the Lido footed water tumbler:

You can see the pretty etch very well on this Lido sherbet glass. Sherbets are great to use as small bowls when you want to be fancy; try it with fruit cups or melon balls or strawberries.

Fostoria used the elegant Baroque blank for most accessory pieces. Typical of the era, Fostoria made two sizes of creamers and sugars, several candle holders, bowls and serving pieces. Here is the small cream pitcher.
