Fostoria Coronet Elegant Glass

Fostoria's Coronet is one of their less-well known patterns, which is hard to understand since it is far more classy and elegant than some of their best known patterns. Coronet has the three wavy lines that you can see in our ice bucket and many of the pieces have scalloped rims.

Fostoria made Coronet from 1939 to 1960 and it was used for a few etchings, notably Mayflower. The handles on pieces like creamers and sugars look like rams' horns, all twisty and neat.

If you are looking for a very attractive set of vintage crystal you may want to consider Coronet. You'll be glad you did!
