Fostoria June Pattern Stemware Collection Appraisal

Fostoria 'June' Pattern Stemware Collection

This set consists of at least nine pieces of vintage American elegant glassware, specifically identified as the 'June' pattern produced by the Fostoria Glass Company. The glassware is crafted from high-quality clear crystal featuring a delicate, ornate floral and ribbon etching that covers the bell-shaped bowls. The stems are characterized by a classic multi-knop or stacked ball design leading down to a flat circular base, typical of Fostoria's Early American design aesthetic. The items appear to be tea or water goblets based on their height and bowl volume. The etching is intricate, showcasing the fine craftsmanship associated with the mid-20th century (circa 1928-1944). Regarding condition, the items are currently presented outdoors on grass, which prevents a detailed inspection of the footed bases for shelf wear or 'flea bites'; however, the glass maintains a clear, non-cloudy appearance suggesting they have not suffered from etching due to modern dishwashers. No major cracks or chips are immediately visible from this distance, and the consistency in clarity indicates a well-preserved set. The lack of visible manufacturer marks is common for this period, as Fostoria often used paper labels that were removed by the original owners.
