Fostoria Glass 'Chintz' Pattern Footed Tumbler

This is a vintage footed tumbler or tea glass crafted from high-quality clear lead glass, featuring the intricate 'Chintz' floral etching. The 'Chintz' pattern (specifically Fostoria pattern #2419) was produced by the Fostoria Glass Company primarily between 1940 and 1973. The glass features a flared, trumpet-shaped bowl that gracefully tapers down to a short pedestal stem accented with a single round ball knop. The piece is supported by a wide, flat circular base. Most notably, the glass is adorned with an all-over wheel-etched or acid-etched design of delicate, multi-petaled wild roses and dense foliage, a hallmark of the Mid-Century elegant glass style. The craftsmanship is evident in the clarity of the crystal and the crispness of the floral details. In terms of condition, the glass appears to be in excellent vintage state with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy clouding, though some minor shelf wear on the bottom of the base is typical for a piece of this age. The reflective quality and lack of manufacturing seams suggest it was fire-polished, indicating superior quality typical of American 'Elegant Glass' manufacturers of the mid-20th century.
