Item Number: 377
Diameter: 3¾”
Production Dates: 1980-1982
Out of all the Fostoria American Coasters, this stunning 16-rayed version is the hardest one to find. It is easy to understand why, for they were only produced from 1980-1982. With a short production run, and also being prone to breakage during and after the manufacturing process, there simply are not a lot of them available. Even fewer are the ones in great condition.
Expect slight variations in size. The 16-rayed coasters that I have are slightly smaller – bigger than 3½” but smaller than 3¾”. The outer rim of glass that surrounds this Coaster is thinner than the other variations, making it a bit more fragile. I have noticed from my own experience that glasses do not sit as securely in the center of this Coaster as they do in the other styles.
While the 16-Rayed Coaster might be more difficult to find (especially in great condition) it is truly one of the prettiest Coasters that Fostoria Glass ever produced. As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase on eBay. The following link shows available Coasters on eBay.
