Federal Yorktown - Sturdy Glass with Colonial Flair


This is Yorktown by Federal Glass, a sturdy design that is perfect for everyday use. You'll see how the light bounces off the oval thumbprint indentations and sparkles on the scalloped rim. This is the footed fruit bowl, one of the less common pieces in this vintage pattern.

You'll usually find Yorktown in clear, but it's also available in yellow and a very nice crystal with an iridescent wash. Federal made several patterns with similar colors, notably Petal, in this time period, roughly the 1960s and early 70s.
We have this listed now in our TIAS and eBay stores.
