Great news for collectors! The definitive reference for Fostoria stemware has been updated and expanded. This second edition boasts more than 200 new color photographs to illustrate how a design actually looks on the piece. The same etchings, cuttings, and decorations that were featured in the first edition of Fostoria Stemware remain, but new information, photos, and updated values have been added to make this book a sure bet for Fostoria enthusiasts around the country. The expanded section on the American pattern now shows easily confused stems side by side for comparison. New photographs of tumblers, jugs, and bar ware in the appendices bring clarity to research. Nothing has been deleted from the first edition, but much has been added, including 2008 values.

Super organized reference.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fostoria Stemware; The Crystal for America: Identification and Value Guide: The Crystal for America: Identification and Value Guide (Hardcover)
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.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fostoria Stemware: The Crystal for America Second Edition (Identification & Value Guide) (Hardcover)
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.
