Fostoria Coffee Cup

Vintage Fostoria American pattern clear faceted glass coffee cup.

The Fostoria Glass Company, founded in 1887 in Fostoria, Ohio, became one of the most celebrated American glassware manufacturers. Known for its high-quality crystal and pressed glass, Fostoria produced a wide range of tableware and decorative items. The company closed in 1986, making its pieces increasingly collectible. The "American" pattern, introduced in 1915, is one of Fostoria's most iconic and enduring designs. Characterized by its distinctive cube-like facets, it was produced for over 70 years, making it one of the longest-running patterns in American glassware history. These pieces are highly sought after by collectors for their clarity, weight, and distinctive geometric design.
