Fostoria Sherbet Coupe Appraisal

Fostoria 'June' Etched Crystal Champagne/Tall Sherbet Glass

This is a set of elegant stemware, specifically identified as the Fostoria 'June' pattern on the #6017 stem, which was produced between 1928 and 1944. Each glass is crafted from high-quality clear crystal featuring a delicate, wheel-etched design that depicts a dense floral and ribbon motif, typical of the Depression-era elegant glass style. The physical construction consists of a wide, flared conical bowl attached to an ornate baluster-style stem with a thumbprint or faceted knop, resting on a flat, circular foot. The etching is exceptionally fine, showcasing intricate bows and trailing floral garlands that wrap around the bowl. In terms of condition, the crystal appears bright and clear with no visible cloudiness or 'sick' glass. There are no obvious large chips or cracks visible in the primary glass shown, though typical signs of age such as faint surface scratches or 'shelf wear' on the base of the foot would be expected for pieces of this vintage. The craftsmanship reflects the premium manufacturing standards of the Fostoria Glass Company of Moundsville, West Virginia, during their peak production years. This pattern is highly collectible and exemplifies the Art Deco influenced 'Excelsior' or top-tier glassware sought after by collectors of mid-20th-century Americana.
