Fostoria Glass made this beautiful ruby red candle holder most likely in the 1960s or 70s. I got it at an estate sale.
Fostoria’s Coin pattern is pressed glass, rather heavy, a decorative and accessory line, that comes in glowing colors. There is a creamer and sugar, small plate, goblets and tumblers, but no saucers and only a punch cup. Instead look for a plethora of lamps, urns, candy jars decorative bowls, condiment sets, decanters, vases.
There are Coin pieces in olive green and in a emerald green.
Fostoria also made Coin in blue and crystal in addition to amber, olive, emerald, and ruby.
Fostoria was not the first company to produce glass containing actual coins or images of coins. Per the online Britannica encyclopedia, British glass makers coins in the stems of goblets beginning about 1650. Later companies produced glass with reproductions of actual coins, but in the US these were outlawed and companies began making glass with coin-like decorations.
Fostoria sold their molds to Lancaster Colony who reissued many pieces in similar colors to the Fostoria-made line. Since Lancaster Colony used the same molds it can be hard to tell the newer pieces from old although some colors slightly differ. A few years ago Dave and I stopped at a Fostoria outlet store in Ohio and saw pieces of original Fostoria patterns that Lancaster Colony had made.
Fostoria Coin glass has frosted coins; unfortunately this is not a fool-proof way to distinguish true Fostoria because they produced some pieces in their latter years with clear coins.
If you like this pattern and only want Fostoria-made pieces from the 60s and 70s, then attend a glass show if possible, or browse antique malls and study the colors. If you like the design and the colors and are not so concerned with the company responsible then buy what you like and enjoy it.
