Fostoria Jug with # 237 Garland Etch on Unknown Blank
| Fostoria Jug with # 237 Garland Etch on Unknown Blank |
Jug is 6-3/4 inches tall at spout.
The following comments are paraphrased from an email conversation with Emily Seate, co-author of several books on Fostoria. Looking in Hazel Weatherman's book, I found two jugs that are close. One is on page 58, upper right, and is the #302. Looks like it was made at the same time as Garland, so that is possible. The other one I kind of liked is on page 201 of Weatherman, bottom right. It was made in the later years of Garland.
Two things bother me about it. (1) the top is not flat as most of the Fostoria jugs are, and (2) the way the piece slopes in toward the top. I'm just not finding both items on a Fostoria jug. But the etching says it's Fostoria. Unless someone else made the glass, and Fostoria etched the piece. I once saw a Coronet piece with a Heisey etching on it at a Heisey show. So my best guess is that it is sweet, lovely, and should be cherished.
317 is out because the top is flat, and yours isn't. I kind of like 1227, but again the top is flat. |
