Customer Reviews

Exactly what I was looking for!

The book gives all the available information I need about specific crystal stemware ... with values as of the copyright date in 2008 ... the book gives perfect detailed information; I'm pleased and very glad I made the purchase.

This is the one!

For years I've perused books on Fostoria, hoping to identify my mother's stemware, without luck until I got this book! It's all here! Mom's (#6014), a pretty little sherbet glass I got in an antique store (#5087), and some pieces I bought for a friend at a roadside stand. Finally! A very informative reference at a very good price!

A complete and comprehensive value guide

Glasses can be both functional and decorative, so it should be no surprise that people have taken to collecting them. "Fostoria Stemware: The Crystal for America" is a complete and comprehensive value guide, masterfully compiled and in a new and revised second edition. Covering glass making and collection across over four hundred years of American history, "Fostoria Stemware" is a must for any collector of crystal glasses.

A great reference book!

This is one of the best general books on Fostoria I have been able to locate thus far. Well organized and useful. Great pictures.

Super organized reference.

If you have stemware and need to identify it, this is the book for you. There's a goblet index in the back which refers to the main book by numbers. I have found it invaluable for quick reference. Having ounces and height given really helps to identify which pieces one has. Each pattern is given production dates, and if it was made in several colors, production dates are given for each color.
