Fostoria American’s Footed Cup is a piece that I find intriguing. While I am aware that published authors on the American pattern sometimes refer to this cup as a “Punch Cup” and/or a “Coffee Cup”, I merely call it a “Footed Cup”. The reason I do so is because that is how Fostoria Glass Company referred to it in their many catalogs.
Obviously, this piece is perfect for sipping a cup of delicious coffee. Fostoria Glass must have had the same idea, for they produced a Saucer that fit the Footed Cup perfectly. That being said, it also is the perfect cup for serving punch or a cup of tea – or just about any other beverage. Thus, this particular piece in the Fostoria American line is very versatile – and I will leave it to you to decide on how to use it.
The Footed Cup is approximately 2¾″ in height (a bit taller than the other cups because of the foot). Each cup holds approximately 7 ounces. Fostoria produced six different types of cups; however, the Footed Cup is probably the most recognized of them all. You can see the other Punch/Custard Cups here. Since Fostoria gave the Footed Cup such a generic name, its usage is limited only by your imagination.
