    Description

    I have a beautiful vintage set of 7 Fostoria crystal iced tea tumbler glasses / goblets in the Trousseaux pattern in near mint condition. Each Glass has a gorgeous 6 sided stem and is decorated with a thin band of platinum around the rim. Platinum is a white silver metal more rare and precious than gold. Fostoria was a premiere American Crystal and Glass Company , and their glassware and Crystal was even the choice of Presidents for use in the White House before it went out of business in the 1980s.
    Please see all of my pictures and feel free to message me if you have any questions. I also have listed other glasses from this pattern, the water Goblets and also the champagne / sherbet coupe glasses. Thank you for looking.
    I would recommend hand washing these beauties to avoid the harsh and damaging chemicals of dish washer detergent which can etch and ruin your fine crystal over time.

The wear must be a normal, desirable part of aging or so minor that it’s barely noticeable and visible only upon close inspection. Wear or minor, normal factory flaws should be noted. Factory flaws are small blemishes common at
    the time of manufacture — a tiny air bubble or flaw under the paint for example.

    Unknown Maker perhaps Fostoria. MORGANTOWN, Blenko, Pilgrim, Rainbow....
    See photo of page 195 of Gerry Gallagher's
    MORGANTOWN BOOK.  He said they were very rare and he only found two styles previous to publishing his book. If I understand it correctly, they were designed and produced by Fostoria AFTER they bought Morgantown.
    As these are only line drawings I can't say for sure if this one was made by Fostoria/Morgatown.
