The intricate scroll design and grey cut detailing on this dish reflect the elegance and craftsmanship of the Art Deco style, making it a very rare, unique, and valuable addition to any collection of decorative items. The cutting is one of the most beautiful cuttings made by Fostoria during its golden years. The period from 1910 to 1940 saw a convergence of artistic movements, including Greek Revival, Egyptian Revival, Victorian, and Art Nouveau, which ultimately gave rise to Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern. These trends were strikingly reflected in the work of the Fostoria Glass Company, an ambitious American glass manufacturer based in Moundsville, West Virginia. Fostoria's design team, which included George Sakier, kept the company attuned to contemporary artistic currents. Sakier, a renowned industrial artist with ties to Columbia University and the New York avant-garde, brought inspiring and cutting-edge designs to Fostoria. During this golden age, the company produced exceptional pieces embodying the best of these styles for discerning clientele, creating some of the finest American crystal of the era. The piece described above was produced during a time of significant American construction projects, coinciding with the building of the Hoover Dam (1931), Radio City Music Hall (1932), and the Empire State Building (1931). This piece embodies artistic elements the age of empire brought to life.
