Fostoria Glass June Etched Topaz Yellow Center Handled Server
It’s been raining here the past few days so let’s find some sunny colored glass. This June etched server in Fostoria’s sunshine yellow is just the thing. June is a happy fresh pattern, all full of flowers and ribbons and bows, and the topaz yellow color makes you feel like you stepped out into a meadow lavished with sunshine and daisies.
This center handled server is just the piece to show off the pretty design and glowing color. You can see the fleur de lis shaped handle – typical Fostoria – and look closely at the base. See the lighter streaks? This is an optic pattern meaning there is a little more going on with the shape of the glass that makes it look sparkly and even more alive. The streaks are from the light reflecting off different thicknesses in the glass. There really are no streaks at all, it’s all in the light.
I like center handled servers – a lot – and this is one the finest we have. We’ve an amber one same shape without an etched design that is lovely plus a few in green and clear. Center handled servers are perfect to serve dainty sandwiches or cookies or cupcakes but their best point is how they act as a canvas for the rich design and pleasing colors. Come take a look at Cat Lady Kate’s Elegant and Depression Glass.
