Antique Questions Forum / Delicate etched glass collection...

« on: June 01, 2011, 08:48:52 pm »

Hello everyone. This glass collection is very delicate and thin, but has been kept in great shape. I have no idea how old it is or where it was made. Any ideas? Value? There are 6 cylindrical glasses(about 6" tall), 6 stemmed glasses (about 6" tall), and 3 larger stemmed glasses (about 8" tall). I only took pics of 1 of each, so the whole collection isn't represented here, just different angles of a sample of each.
 
Here's a link to my photobucket album. The pictures aren't fabulous, and I can upload them here if you'd like, but I hope you can at least get an idea from the photobucket pics.

Oh yeah, and there's also a tea set in there if anyone knows anything about that. "Hand Painted" is written in cursive on the bottom.
Thanks!!!
Jeff

Wow, ironlord! Thanks so much for going into so much depth. I learned a lot. I just rang them, and the two bowls do ring nicely. The Fostoria is indeed marked on the bottom as such. It also rings nicely. What an education! Thanks again.

That happens to be the only item that had a mark that I could find. It's not shown in the photos, but it says Fostoria on the bottom.

Here's the cup and the close-up of the sandy mark within the Fostoria piece. I felt the edges of all the pieces, and the sharpest were the two non-Fostoria bowls, though I do believe there's sharpness on the others. I don't think they would cut my fingers though.

Correction.. the previous post was the shorter pitcher and the bell. This is the taller pitcher.

Thanks. I have tried to find markings, but could only find the one on the Fostoria bowl. I'll try to upload the pics here shortly. I don't know how sharp the edges should be, but I don't believe the pieces were used much.

Hello, everyone. I have been going through our antiques that I'd like to evaluate. Below is a link to pictures of a small collection of cut glass that my grandmother began collecting in the early-mid 1900's. A large pitcher, a smaller pitcher, 3 bowls, a compote/candy dish, a bell, and a cup. If anyone has an idea as to the value of any of the pieces, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
