Fostoria Glassware 'Chintz' Pattern Etched Crystal Cocktail Glass

This item is a vintage etched lead crystal cocktail or coupe glass, identified by the intricate floral and foliate 'Chintz' pattern produced by Fostoria Glass Company. The glass features a wide, flared conical bowl that narrows down to meet a highly decorative molded stem. The stem is characterized by a multi-faceted, tiered design, likely the #6025 'Willowmere' or similar Fostoria stem shape, which adds substantial elegance and a play of light. The etching depicts a delicate, all-over tapestry-like floral motif featuring scrolling leaves, small blossoms, and textured shading known as needle etching. Based on the style and manufacturing techniques, this piece likely dates from the 1940s to the 1960s, a period when American elegant glass was at its peak. The glass appears to be in excellent used condition with high clarity, no visible chips or cloudiness, and a well-centered ground base. The thinness of the rim and the complexity of the stem-to-bowl transition are hallmarks of high-quality craftsmanship from the Depression into the Mid-Century Modern era.
