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.
