Fostoria Crystal
In 1925, the factory expanded to adding five more furnaces. Initially, the company manufactured decorative lamps and stemware pieces for the American home, and soon surfaced as a leader in American glassware market. It was during this period that the factory started marketing lines of Fostoria crystal colored dinnerware and stemware pieces. The new products became an instant success, and the rise of the business all through the nineteenth century had Americans turning away from afternoon teas, instead into casual after work cocktail parties. Fostoria crystal colored pieces was perfect for polished casual entertaining. The Fostoria crystal factory continued to do well through the 1960's and 1970's, even weathering the great depression in the 1930's and Second World. All through the 1970's foreign competition increased, and the company sold its stock and Moundsville factory to Lancaster Colony Corporation. Eventually, the company decided to close the factory and sell the remaining stock in 1983 directly to consumers. Today, Fostoria crystals are readily available through Replacements Ltd. and other sellers. Some of the famous patterns of Fostoria crystals include American, Colony, Holly, Chintz, and Romance.
