Small Cologne

Item Number: BOT-5
Approximate Size: 5¾” H
Production Dates: 1925-1943 (Crystal)

Fostoria American Blue Cologne The American pattern offered two sizes of colognes – a Small Cologne, and a Large Cologne. The small size was produced for less than twenty years. All of the Small Colognes included a drop stopper; the stopper is just shy of 1″ square. They can be found with both ground (the oldest) and unground necks and stoppers.

Primarily made in clear crystal, Fostoria Glass also produced the small Colognes in Amber, Blue, and Canary – circa 1925. Unlike the crystal Colognes, the ones of color were only made from 1925-1926. Colored Boudoir Sets were offered during this short period of time, and a small Cologne was one of the items included in the set.

The crystal Colognes were very popular in filigree dresser sets. Other companies would buy the Colognes from Fostoria Glass and assemble them in dresser sets of decorative metal filigree. Some of the filigree designs were plain, while others were adorned with painted medallions.

Protecting your American Glassware

To help prevent damage to our beloved American items, and to allow for easy identification, I like to use storage boxes. A variety of boxes are available, and some of them have windows which will allow you to quickly see the contents of the box. I also like identify each box with the item’s identification number. I no longer have to worry about the safety of my glassware. They are easy to access, and the attractive boxes keep my pantry very organized! ♥
