Fostoria 'Navarre' Clear Etched Wine Goblet

This is a vintage stemware piece, specifically a blown-glass wine goblet featuring the iconic 'Navarre' etched pattern produced by the Fostoria Glass Company. The goblet is constructed from high-quality clear lead crystal, characterized by its brilliance and melodic ring when tapped. The physical form consists of a wide, slightly tapered bowl resting upon a multi-faceted ornate stem with a decorative knob or 'wafer' near the top and bottom, leading down to a sturdy circular base. The primary distinguishing feature is the delicate, intricate needle etching of flowing floral sprigs and scrolling vines that circle the upper portion of the bowl. This specific pattern, number 327, was in production for decades (estimated mid-20th century, circa 1936-1982), representing a classic Depression-era and Mid-Century American style. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the etched lines and the clarity of the glass. Regarding condition, the glass appears well-maintained with clear transparency and no visible 'clouding' or etching wear. There are no obvious chips on the rim or base, though minor surface scratches consistent with careful household use and age may be present on the underside of the foot. No visible maker's marks are seen in this view, which is typical for Fostoria stemware of this period, as they often used paper labels.
