Description
Fostoria Glass Olive Dish Steuben-like
1940’s Fostoria crystal olive bowl. This beautiful bowl is often mistaken for Steuben glass. It was made by Fostoria as a Steuben look-a-like and/or go-along. We’ve seen many Fostoria bowls like this with forged Steuben signatures that have been added with a glass etcher. Never has the fake Steuben signature that we’ve found on these bowls looked like an original signature, it was always poorly imitated.
A couple of differences between the Steuben and the Fostoria olive bowl: Fostoria’s handle has an extra turn and Fostoria’s hand-blown glass usually has one or two tiny unintentional bubbles. Stueben’s glass rarely had unintentional bubbles. The style was first made by John Dreves of Steuben in 1939. Fostoria’s pattern go-along was made shortly after. In excellent original condition with scattered trapped tiny bubbles.
Bowl measures 5.5″ round, the handle adds another inch to the width. Stands 3.5″ tall to top of handle and weighs 1.75 lbs. Stueben’s original version measured 5.25″ round.
