Fostoria American bowl
I purchased this bowl awhile ago. The vendor had it labelled as Jeanette Glass Company’s Cubist pattern. Looking through my Depression Glass books, I discovered that Jeanette Glass never made a bowl in clear. The pattern is actually Fostoria’s American which is offen confused with Cubist.
Jeanette Glass Company manufactured Cubist (Cube) from 1929 to 1933. Only three patterns were produced in crystal (clear): 2 5/8″ creamer, 2 9/16″ sugar, and, 7 1/2″ round tray.
Fostoria produced American from 1916-1986 in clear (crystal) , amber, blue, green, yellow, white, red, and pink.
Generally, if your pattern is not listed in the Cube production line, it’s most likely American.
