Fostoria Glass Lido Etched Low Sherbet
Does this look like fireworks or milkweed puffs? The big poofs look like the 4th of July, so neat.
This is Fostoria Lido etched low sherbet in crystal. Our family crystal is Cambridge Rose Point, but Lido is my favorite Fostoria pattern. I like a lot of Fostoria patterns – Trojan, Romance, June, Vesper plus Lido – but I keep coming back to Lido as the one I’d choose if we were getting new glass. I like the big poofs and the lovely way the design flows around the piece. I like the shape of the stemware and the dinnerware and accessories. Yes, Lido is my favorite Fostoria pattern.
Fostoria used the elegant Sceptre blank for the stems. Can you see the little pointy parts at the top? They look regal, a little like a crown, and the Sceptre name was meant to evoke that regal feeling.
Dinnerware and most accessories are Baroque, the same shape as Chintz or Meadow Rose. Baroque is the pattern with the molded fleur de lis on the sides. You might think the combination of big poofs and fleur de lis would be too busy but it’s not, the combination works great.
