Maker's Background
Founded in 1887 in Fostoria, Ohio, the Fostoria Glass Company quickly established itself as a leader in the American glassware industry. After relocating to Moundsville, West Virginia, in 1891, the company expanded its operations and reputation, becoming known for its high-quality, handmade glassware. Fostoria was a pioneer in producing complete crystal dinner services and was among the first to engage in national advertising campaigns. At its peak in the 1950s, Fostoria employed nearly 1,000 workers and produced over 8 million pieces of glassware annually. Notably, their products were chosen by U.S. Presidents from Eisenhower through Reagan, underscoring the brand's prestige and quality.
Serving Suggestions

The glass's design enhances the wine's bouquet and flavor profile, making it suitable for both casual gatherings and formal occasions. Pair it with classic table settings to evoke a sense of timeless elegance.
