Fostoria Glass American Pattern Individual Creamer

This is a vintage pressed glass individual creamer, featuring the iconic 'American' pattern produced by the Fostoria Glass Company originally released in 1915. The piece is constructed from clear flint glass and is characterized by its distinct three-dimensional cube or 'shagark' geometric design, which creates a highly refractive surface that mimics cut glass. The creamer stands approximately 3 to 4 inches tall and features a decorative sawtooth or scalloped rim that follows the lines of the cube pattern. It includes a molded C-shaped handle and a small pouring spout. The base is finished with a circular foot that continues the geometric motif. The clarity of the glass suggests mid-20th-century production, as this pattern was one of the longest-running in American glassware history. Regarding condition, there are visible surface scuffs and general shelf wear consistent with age and use. Small chips called 'flea bites' may be present along the sharp edges of the cube facets and the sawtooth rim, which is common for this type of heavy pressed glass. No prominent maker's marks are visible, as Fostoria typically used paper labels rather than acid stamps for this line.
