The only true free blown art glass made by the Fostoria Glass Co. of W. VA. (to my knowledge). Made for two years only 1977-1978 during the Art Nouveau/ Art Deco Revival in the USA. Pieces originally sold in the $300-400 range so production was limited. Clear glass with multi-color inclusions. Signed on the bottom Fostoria 77.
F.W.F
Forgot to mention : This company should not be confused with the Fostoria Glass Specialty Co. of Ohio that made IRIS ware art glass from 1910-1914.
Thanks BELLIN68

This is very interesting. I didn't realize that Fostoria produced a free blown line. Thanks for the pics and history of this unique art glass.
LD : You and me too. I had no idea Fostoria W.V. made hand blown art glass until I cam across this piece. It's a bit modern for me but unusual.
This is the best example of this line I have seen.
I came across a large vase that was signed on the bottom fostoria78 so I was pleased to discover one in CW today and to find out it had a limited production. RER(Bob)
