Fostoria is one of the best known and admired names in American glassware. Probably more brides and homemakers in America have received gifts of and purchased glassware made at the Fostoria factory, in Moundsville, West Virginia, than any other glass company. During its century of operation, the range of style, form, decoration, color, and manufacturing technique was tremendous; only the fine quality remained constant. From 1915 until the factory closed in 1986, one pattern--American No. 2056--has remained a favorite, if not the most popular pattern sought after by glass collectors. This book presents the hundreds of individual glass items in this amazing line, in more than 400 color photographs, patent illustrations, and original promotional advertisements, plus detailed captions, a value guide, quick reference section, and index. It will fascinate and inform both the advanced and beginning collector, and no dealer should be without it., 379 color slides, 50 diagrams, 6 catalog pages, 8 1/2" x 11", Price Guide/Index

Fostoria American Line 2056,
By Phil Cherry (Lynnwood, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fostoria American: Line 2056 (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This book is wonderful to look at and browse through! It has a great deal of information and MANY full color pictures. It is a delight to be able to see so many well photographed pieces in one volume. The price ranges are listed right with the picture and descriptions, so it is a quick and easy reference. This is a good book for those that are in search of a moderately priced volume for their personal reference, as well as for the dealer.Note: the author, Leslie Pina, has many other volumes on glass that may be of interest to you.

Good Book for the Collector and Shopper,
This review is from: Fostoria American Line 2056 (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
Fostoria AAmerican Line 2056 is a real neat book and I have really enjoyed looking it over for the idea of finding the pieces that I have and looking for additional pieces and the price listed for the pieces is a real help.
The pictures are fantastic and the descriptions are good. I only wish that I knew how to measure the pieces of glass to match their measurements.It's great to have the individuals to share by allowing photographs of their collections to help us beginners. Such treasures!Thanks for a job well done to the author, Leslie Pina, Ohio.
