Punch Cup – Flared, Flat Handle

by | Aug 11, 2015 | Drinkware & Stemware, Punch Bowls, Cups, & More

Item Number:  D-02
Height:  2¼″
Production Dates:  Not Cataloged

It is important to note that the flared Punch Cups, with flat handles, varied slightly in size.  The one shown in this post is the bigger one, with a top diameter of approximately 3½”.  The height of the Punch Cup is approximately 2¼”, with a flat bottom.  Other size variations (up to about ¼”) might also be found in the height of the clear band of glass around the top of the cup.  The Punch Cup holds about 6 ounces.

This Punch Cup is referenced to as “flat-handled” because the top of the handle is flat.  This characteristic is different from other punch cups and coffee cups made by Fostoria Glass, which featured a typical round handle.

Item Number:  02
Approximate Size:  6⅞″ H – 10 oz.
Production Dates:  1915-1982

Fostoria | American | GobletPresented here are the 10 oz. Fostoria American Goblets, which have hexagonal feet. These are quite substantial pieces and are approximately 6⅞” tall.  These particular goblets have a long stem, which adds to their stature and beauty. Though introduced over 100 years ago – they still look timeless today.  They are a classic, indeed.

The Goblet and the Wine both have a hexagonal foot.  Their design is very similar to each other, except for their size.  The Goblet is the bigger of the two, and has a holding capacity of approximately 9-10 ounces.

Footed Tumbler – 5 oz.

Item Number:  88
Height:  4¾″
Production Dates:  1934-1982

Fostoria | American | Pair of Footed TumblersMany people classify this Fostoria American Footed Tumbler as a Goblet; however, that is not accurate. Fostoria made both Goblets and Tumblers, in addition to a variety of other stemware.  While this Tumbler’s overall design is very similar to a Goblet, the difference can be found in the actual stem. Footed Tumblers feature a shorter stem, or they have no stem at all.

One of the things I like best about the clear crystal pieces is their versatility. For example, this 5 oz. Footed Tumbler will look great on any table setting – no matter the color or design.  This piece can be used to serve fruit juices, tea, soft drinks, and other chilled beverages.

The Footed Tumbler holds approximately 5 ounces and is about 4¾” in height.  It was an extremely popular item in the Fostoria American line, and was produced from 1934-1982.
