Miscellaneous
This section focuses on items that are distinctive, a novelty of sorts. Such pieces include the Napkin Ring, Bell, Reed Handled Basket, etc.
Regarding Coasters – it is important to note that Fostoria Glass had a giftware line that was made out of lead crystal. These items were not part of the American pattern – Line #2056.
The giftware line included different Coasters, and they were marketed as “American Lead Crystal”. The confusion is that some people think the word “American” is referring to the pattern; it is not. It is simply stating that the giftware line is considered American lead crystal, meeting international standards. Different standards were applied to different countries.
