Clear pressed glass center-handle serving tray in the 'Coronet' pattern by Fostoria Glass Company

The Fostoria Glass Company, founded in 1887 in Fostoria, Ohio, became one of America's premier glassware manufacturers, producing elegant pressed and blown glass tableware until 1986. The Coronet pattern (#2560) was introduced in the 1930s during the Art Deco era, featuring graceful swirled handles and clean lines that epitomized the elegant glassware of the period. These center-handle trays were designed for serving sandwiches, cookies, or hors d'oeuvres at tea parties and social gatherings. Fostoria's Coronet pattern appeals to collectors of American pressed glass, vintage tableware enthusiasts, and those who appreciate Art Deco design. The pattern's timeless elegance and practical functionality make it desirable for both display and use in entertaining. Collectors value Fostoria pieces for their quality craftsmanship, historical significance as examples of American glass manufacturing, and the nostalgic connection to mid-century entertaining traditions.
