Elegant Fostoria Etched Iced Tea Glasses

Glass

 

This is a set of six short stem copper wheel cut glasses from the early 1900's, probably between 1910-1930. This graceful stemware has a delicately engraved floral and leaf design, with a leaf design etched in the base as well.

Though normally used as ice tea glasses, they look elegant holding a layered dessert as well.

Copper Wheel engraving is a form of glass cutting that uses small, fast turning copper wheels. The cutting tool is moved across the glass, not the glass across a stationary cutting stone, which creates a more detailed and artistic cut design.

Each of the six glasses are in excellent condition! No chips, cracks, or scratches. 5" tall and 2 1/2" in diameter.

The last three pictures are taken with different lighting to enhance the delicate pattern.
