Fostoria American’s Footed Cup is a piece that I find intriguing.  While I am aware that published authors on the American pattern sometimes refer to this cup as a “Punch Cup” and/or a “Coffee Cup”, I merely call it a “Footed Cup”.  The reason I do so is because that is how Fostoria Glass Company referred to it in their many catalogs.

Obviously, this piece is perfect for sipping a cup of delicious coffee.  Fostoria Glass must have had the same idea, for they produced a Saucer that fit the Footed Cup perfectly.  That being said, it also is the perfect cup for serving punch or a cup of tea – or just about any other beverage. Thus, this particular piece in the Fostoria American line is very versatile – and I will leave it to you to decide on how to use it.

The Footed Cup is approximately 2¾″ in height (a bit taller than the other cups because of the foot).  Each cup holds approximately 7 ounces.  Fostoria produced six different types of cups; however, the Footed Cup is probably the most recognized of them all.  You can see the other Punch/Custard Cups here.  Since Fostoria gave the Footed Cup such a generic name, its usage is limited only by your imagination.
