Fostoria made a few different punch cups, with most differences being attributed to their handle and whether the cup was flared or regular in shape. This particular cup is the regular version, with a round handle. The cup’s height is approximately 2½”, with a flat bottom. The top diameter is approximately 3″ with a cup capacity of 6 ounces.
For me, this particular piece of glass is special … as it was one of the first cups introduced in the American pattern. In fact, it is featured in the original 1915 Fostoria American catalog. When introduced, Fostoria Glass Company referred to it as a “Custard” cup, not a Punch Cup. It was not until many years later that Fostoria Glass started referring to it as their Regular Punch Cup. One must remember, that as the times changed … so did people’s cooking and eating habits. Fostoria Glass would sometimes add or delete items, or change their respective names, to reflect the current trends in the market.

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.

Presented here is the 10 oz. Fostoria American Goblet, which has a hexagonal foot. These items are quite substantial and are approximately 6⅞″ tall. These 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.

To help prevent damage and to allow for easy identification of my goblets, I prefer to use storage boxes. Full Disclosure: I am an Amazon Associate; thus, I earn from qualifying purchases. The Homyfort storage boxes with dividers have worked very well for me.
A variety of storage boxes from different suppliers are available online; however, I like having the transparent window panel that allows me to see the contents instantly. The side handles are reinforced and can hold the hefty weight of the glass. When not in use, you can fold the box flat in order to save space!
The attractive boxes help keep my pantry very organized, and can do the same for you. ♥

Production Dates: 1934-1982
Many 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.
