Fostoria 'Heirloom' Ruby Red Glass Goblet

This is a vintage pressed glass goblet, commonly referred to as a water or wine goblet, rendered in a deep 'ruby red' or 'claret' color. The item is constructed from heavy, thick-walled glass with a molded geometric design. The pattern is characterized by a band of circular medallions containing diamond-point cross-hatching, separated by protruding bosses and alternating with larger diamond-shaped textured panels. The stem is faceted and tapers down to a sturdy, hexagonal pedestal base with a scalloped or serrated edge detail at the foot. The saturated color indicates the use of gold or selenium in the glass batch, consistent with mid-20th-century American manufacture. The piece appears to be in good used condition with no visible cracks or large chips in the photo, though fine flea bites (tiny chips) are common on the raised geometric points of this pattern. It exhibits a glossy finish characteristic of fire-polishing. This style is consistent with 'Heirloom' or similar Early American Preserved Glass (EAPG) revival patterns produced by American glass companies like Fostoria or Indiana Glass, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The weight and clarity suggest a high-quality production standard for consumer glassware of that era.
