Description

Sugar Bowl + 4-Place 12-Oz Forstoria American Pattern Tea/Beverage Full Service
These 5-1/4" Tall "Flair Side" American-pattern Fostorial glasses, sometimes called tumblers, measure 3-3/4" diameter across their tops.  These may contain up to 12 ounces rather than being limited to 10 ounces by Fostoria's
shorter,
more common glasses.  Forstoria's crystal glass American pattern presents many prismatic optical features that become strikingly apparent when illuminated by several compact light sources.  Viewing these empty glasses before they are filled can display a myriad of reflected lights which changes as any viewer's eye position changes.  This pleasing fasceted effect is more pronounced by
flaired sided
tumblers like these much more than by straight sided glasses.  Their reflective appearance naturally depends on the environment
and illumination specifics which
you provide.  If you display these in a dull lifeless uniformly-illumiated environment, they will reflect that environment.  If you display them in a lively sparkling environment, especially when illuminated by multiple compact lighting sources, they will simply sparkle.  The amber coloration apparent in my photos is simply a reflection of this home's amber wood plank vaulted living room ceiling.  This crystal glassware is clear but highly reflective.
This Fostoria American pattern beverage glass style has been used in the US White House for more than half a century.  This offering includes one complete 4-place
