There are a variety of “Ice Tea” glasses in the Fostoria American pattern. Some of the glasses are footed and/or flared. Most versions of the Ice Tea glasses hold approximately 12 oz., so the real differences between them can be found in their design and shape. The Ice Tea – Flared – is very similar to the Flared Table Tumbler; however, the Ice Tea glass is larger in size.
The 12 oz. Ice Tea – Flared – has a height of approximately 5¼ – 5½”. It has flared sides and does not have a foot. This particular Ice Tea was one of the first pieces to be introduced into the American pattern in 1915 and was produced continuously throughout 1982.
When the Flared Ice Tea is paired with the vintage Ice Tea Plate, it is a beautiful combination. When you want to make a gracious impression while serving tea (or with any other beverage), the Flared Ice Tea will not disappoint. Simply put, it is a beautiful piece of glass.

This is the Fostoria American Low Goblet. It is approximately 5½″ tall, and holds about 9 ounces. It was a popular item in the American line and was produced for many years. The Low Goblet is one of my most favorite pieces because it is very versatile. It looks beautiful in just about every situation – from a casual lunch to the most elegant dinner party imaginable.
Fostoria made both Goblets and Tumblers, in addition to a wide variety of other drinkware. While some of the designs of the Tumblers can be similar to a Goblet, the difference can be found in the actual stem. Tumblers do not have the longer stems that you see on the Goblets, or they have no stem at all.

This is the 9 oz. Fostoria American Footed Tumbler. It’s a substantial piece of drinkware, even though it is only about 4⅜” tall. Very versatile in its usage, it would be a welcome addition to the breakfast, lunch or dinner table. It is the perfect size for serving juice at breakfast, or water at dinner. Introduced into the American line around 1938, it was produced for many years thereafter.

Many times people will call this tumbler a “juice” glass, so you might want to adjust your search criteria accordingly.

The Flared Table Tumbler is one of my most favorite pieces. The flared design is especially pleasing to me, and I find the pieces to be quite elegant and beautiful. There also is a Flared Ice Tea, which is bigger in design and holds about 12 oz. The Flared Table Tumbler pictured here holds about 8 oz. and is approximately 4⅜” high.
This particular Tumbler was also one of the pioneering pieces in the original 1915 supplement catalog of the American line #2056. Therefore, this piece has a long history and was produced for over half a century. The Flared Table Tumbler was discontinued in the early 1970’s, so it will not be as plentiful in the aftermarket as the Flared Ice Tea.
