Fostoria American 20 in. - RARE! Crystal Forte Plate * Circa 1932-1943 — WAS $145
description
A little history: — At one time, Fostoria was the largest maker of handmade glassware in the United States, employing nearly 1,000 people. The company started in 1887 in Fostoria, Ohio; however, it moved in Moundsville in 1891 and was operational until 1986. The 20-in. torte plate is the 2nd most rare one that this company produced. This very attractive crystal torte plate has to be seen in person to truly appreciate it’s design & craftsmanship. The ‘cubes’ are pretty large; they are a nice 3 inches wide at the outermost edges; & in the 2nd row below that, the cubes are 2-1/2 inches wide. It would be idea for using as your holiday serving dish for your pastries & other desserts, carved meats or as a relish dish that has a nice size bowl of dip. This plate will add more beauty to your home, would look great with a large vase of flowers that are on top of it right in the center of your dining room table. It has a very good amount of weight to it. — You could pay more for a smaller, newer plate that is similar to this one, but is not crystal; just plain glass. WAS asking only $145 .... now $125 or best reasonable offer. Seriously interested buyers, please call (do not text) & ask for Leon or Viola at 408-505-8965 between 10 am & 7pm on any day..
