The company began its operations in Fostoria, Ohio, on December 15, 1887, by a group of skilled glassmakers from West Virginia. Fostoria was drawn to Ohio to take advantage of the abundant natural gas supply, an ideal fuel source for producing fine glass. However, as other industries flocked to the region and depleted this valuable resource, Fostoria was forced to relocate to Moundsville, West Virginia in 1891, where they continued their tradition of creating some of the most sought-after glassware in the world. The Navarre pattern, introduced in 1937, is one of Fostoria’s most iconic and long-lasting designs, remaining in production until 1980. Known for its intricate floral etchings, Navarre pieces were originally produced in crystal, with some later variations in color. This set, from October 1979, exemplifies the height of Fostoria’s artistry during its final years of production, combining timeless beauty with the company’s celebrated craftsmanship. These pieces are not just functional but serve as elegant reminders of a bygone era when glassware was crafted with precision and pride. The etched Navarre design, featured on these Claret Wine Glasses, Magnum Wine Glasses, and Water Goblets, adds a sophisticated touch to any dining setting. Whether for entertaining guests or as part of a collection, these vintage pieces are a testament to the artistry that has made Fostoria glassware highly collectible today.
