#89. COLLECT FOSTORIA AMERICAN

[@marykaras2353]

I absolutely adore your collection of Fostoria dishes. I don’t have any pieces but after seeing your pieces, I am going to start searching for some. I doubt they will be at the prices you got them for but I’ll see what I can afford to buy. Thank you granny Pat for making these videos. You are a delight to listen to and to watch. You remind me so much of a friend of mine that I had in New York which is where I was born. I’ve been living in Houston since 1969 I was a very young mother when I met her and she was probably the age that I am now. We lived in the same apartment building in the Bronx. Her name was Ida Mae but we called her Dodo because her younger sister couldn’t pronounce her name when she was little and so, the name stuck. I’m a granny myself. I turned 80 last October. I have been blessed with 6 grandchildren two of which are great grandchildren. Thank you for keeping me company every night when I go to bed. I can watch one video after another. Take care and God bless you. 🙏🏼❤️

[@cahough2312]

I love your collection.....I just discovered this pattern of dishes recently! Then I found out that Jeannette glass created a version of the Fosteria Whitehall pattern. I grew up in Jeannette, Pa and loved watching all the glass productions there! You are a beautiful woman! Love your videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MariaLovesThis]

For someone who didn’t have something special to say, you sure did keep me entertained and delighted!

[@mscapricorn-ce1pl]

Excellent Collection of Fostoria.

[@cahough2312]

Wow I live in Murfreesboro, .Tn.......I need to go to the big vintage and antique shop there!

[@mscapricorn-ce1pl]

I like your pink top, nice earring and necklace. I am fond of costume jewelry, always wear them.

[@mimismumazingcreations]

Found your channel a few weeks ago and watching your older videos as I keep up with your new ones. My Granny has passed away and so I’m officially adopting you as my Granny here on earth. Love you Granny Pat ❤

[@katstar25]

Beautiful collection! I love that you collected it over time. I collect Anchor Hocking Miss America and Westmoreland English Hobnail in clear. Love the sparkle!

[@nicholasnorthcutt5234]

Thank you for this video Granny Pat! I have a set of Fostoria American I inherited from my grandmother and it was her mothers from Louisiana, I imagine she got the pieces in the 30s when she married my great-grandfather. I have a ice tea set, serving dishes, and a set of dessert plates. I thought about collecting more but I enjoy having the pieces I know were my Great grandmothers. I love your collection, that cake plates are amazing!

[@cf-kw5qo]

I have American Fostoria set that belonged to my paternal grandmother . I’ve treasured it since 1984 . My grandaughter wants the set when I pass on . Today for Easter the table was set with Haviland china ( my husbands granmothers china and some of the FOSTORIA , it connects the generations

[@InFltSvc]

That’s a beautiful set you got there! It’s fun to collect like that ….I love those tall candy dishes. PS I loved that large candy dish that I just purchased one on eBay. How beautiful it will look with gold and red foiled Christmas chocolates in them. And I believe I will be getting the smaller one as well..

[@trishapickett6060]

Love your top and necklace

[@reneekorgie3500]

I never had a grandmother who would sit and visit with me......thanks for blessing me with your stories....love them.

[@AnnieBrownlll]

Wonderful story on your great grandmother. Thank you for sharing.

[@donnae9986]

I am so appreciative of you sharing your collection of Fostoria American. My grandmother collected this and left me the most beautiful collection that I treasure dearly (so much so that I had a special cabinet built in my kitchen so I can enjoy the beauty of it and think about my grandmother every day). It breaks my heart to hear of our younger generation not being interested and getting rid of beautiful family collections. I only have a son to pass the collection on to one day, but thankfully he has an appreciation of family collections and likes antiques (well maybe I scared him into when I said that both my grandmother and myself would find a way to haunt him if it ended up in Goodwill. Lol). Thanks again for sharing your beautiful collection!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I share your sentiments regarding the family heirlooms. Expect to see me tapping you on the shoulder in the middle of the night if you get rid of my cherished ‘stuff’.

[@maricabledsoe4039]

I found you on youtube, last night, and I love you!!!! You remind me of my granny so much!!!! I am so delighted, you are a love joy to listen to, and you are such a natural. I have wanted to start a youtube channel myself, but have been too afraid I was too old at 56 to learn how to do the technical things, I just heard you day, you were going to take a class to learn how, and you gave me inspiration, to look into classes. Love you, Grandma Pat!!!!!!! You GO!!!!!!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I’m still struggling, but so far, it works!

[@tothetllc3867]

I’ve lost most all of my older aunts, uncles, my mom, dad and I so miss them! These are the conversations I used to sit around the table and listen to as I grew up as the youngest at the table or on long drives to visit other family. Bless you! I’m so glad I found your channel. Love to all.

[@carolynpierce6694]

Your love of Fostoria is so contagious. I did some close looking at a few pieces I received from my Mother in law. They are Fistoria chintz and I love it. And what should I see on my weekly thrift store trip were 4 Fostoria pieces, a cream pitcher, a small fluted bowl, and an oval bowl with a saucer under it. I came home and made my hubby salmon Pattie’s, coleslaw tomato and homemade applesauce. I set the table with the good dishes and Fostoria.We both agreed that we were probably the only people on the street using Fostoria at lunch. You inspired me to use my pretty dishes❤

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I am in the process of eating salmon patties, coleslaw, and fried potatoes. Made fresh fried corn. It is delicious. Let your new items make memories for you. Look for the thrift shops. You can get good buys.

[@londonkyguy]

I have only seen the Moon Bow at Cumberland Falls one time. I dont go there as much as I used to when I was younger. I heard stories about the Beach at Cumberland falls . Sad that it was destroyed and never rebuilt.

[@hattieanglesbaker5676]

Beautiful collection!

[@CoCo-bb6ou]

Pat it is amazing the deals you can find at the thrift stores sometimes. I just love this Fostoria collection and all of the information you shared. All of these pieces are stunning and I know what you mean about how pretty they are in the light. Also, I am 52 and was born and raised in Franklin, TN. Living in Nashville now. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Thank you Granny Pat! You are the very BEST storyteller I’ve ever seen online 😊!

[@brandyarrowood]

I think you are absolutely beautiful and i could lay here and watch you and listen to you talk for hours i recently lost my mother and my grandmother in October and November of 2022 and you actually remind me of them so im going to Subscribe to your channel Granny Pat Im Brandy Jo and im from Ellenboro,N.C. GOD BLESS YOU ❤

[@roses_and_lace]

So glad everything has worked out with the car situation. I’m also excited to see your story time video- I hope you all have a fun & safe trip! Your Fostoria collection is truly amazing. Collecting piece by piece makes it more special doesn’t it

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I’m very anxious to see what we girls find on this trip. We have so much fun when we take little short trips.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

You have a very pretty view from your home Granny Pat! I know what you mean about sparkle when it comes to glassware or crystal. I fell in love with them both MANY years ago! You have a BEAUTIFUL collection' I wish I could go shopping with my daughter as you do with your daughter Jan. 🙂

[@connieblankinship1617]

Thanks so much granny pat for these videos. Your knowledge is invaluable and I’m so grateful to of found you. I’m into vintage glass and being able to identify it is so nice. Keep on keepin on granny!

[@samanthaknudson3084]

Interesting how you pointed out the difference between Fostoria and White Hall.

[@bluffcitybounty2122]

You are an absolute HOOT! I LOL’d for real when you said, “I don’t need anyone staring at my cleavage.” 😂 Too funny. Am thoroughly enjoying going back and watching all of your past videos. Thank you for sharing your Fostoria collection with us!

[@barbaraschmidt5124]

You are fantastic, love to listen to you speak, you have a wonderful presentation. Keep up the good work.

[@speckledhen409]

My grandma left me a few pieces. I wouldn't trade them for the world. I love your punch bowl. I love visiting Franklin Tennessee. All Jan had to do was order two drinks then give one to you.

[@carolewaters1548]

I searched on Fostoria American and was delighted to have found your channel. This was the crystal given to us as a wedding gift in the late '60s, and I have been adding to the collection ever since. There were so many different items produced I have yet to find even half of the more unusual pieces, but I have amassed quite a number. It is sad that the younger generations are not interested in our "antiques" and are being auctioned off for pennies, or "donate" is their favorite word! Happily for me, my collection has grown exponentially. Mine, too, will one day be auctioned or donated...

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I hope you are wrong about your collections.

[@ellaestrada6113]

Love your collection and the love you radiated while you explained it! You're a sweet lady with a wonderful heart! Love love love your video! Bless you!😊

[@cynthiachronister4082]

;beautiful 😊I inherited my grandma and mothers collection I love chrystal and china too

[@sharonafshari4485]

I’m so glad I found you! I have all the Fostoria my grandmother had and a few pieces I have added. They are so special to me 💕

[@carolewaters1548]

Your collection is fantastic!

[@ericalawson9002]

Hey, Pat. I'm also from Corbin. My Papaw, AJ Lawson (Dixie Chili), also helped to build one of the bridges by the Cumberland Falls - I'm not sure which one. I sure enjoy your videos!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Do you think it might have been the bridge going to MCCreary County above the falls? The other bridge was in the mid-30s. My dad was the supervisor!

[@tisa6193]

Orange/coral looks beautiful on you! I cannot believe that thru wouldn't serve you a drink in your birthday! I hope someone snuck you a sip!😉😁 .... I'm going to check your other videos for that lunch recipe!!!!😊

[@christopherv.2226]

Hello Pat! I didn’t know that you had an accident with your car. I must’ve missed a video . I’ll go back and check which one. Anyway, I’m happy to know that you are doing well! Have a wonderful vacation! So nice to see a new video from you!

[@anneleiter8960]

Granny Pat, you are just the best thing I have seen and heard in a long long time! It is a blessing that I see you now! I love your genuine nature and excellent education about all the lovely treasures you collect. Thank you.

[@Thomas-kl5mo]

Dear Mrs Pat, God Bless and keep you, I love that your so Proud of your Fostoria American Crystal Collections, I shared with you sometime ago my Beloved Gramother had this pattern, she loved it the same way you love yours, I never met my Beloved Mother's very own Mothet she passed away in 1960, but I know of pictures of her homes she lived in her Magony Dining Room table with whit damask Noritake Bristol and Fostoria Amerian , Gorham Buttercup graced her table, you bring back memories of the Sother Grandmother I never had the pleasure of knowing. Hearts and Hugs Thomas

[@heavenboundfarm2159]

[@sarahgallegos8652]

[@donnak116]

You look lovely in this video. Love your blouse it looks beautiful on you

[@theoldsonso]

Thank you so much for the lesson in Fostoria and the difference between Whitehall ❤😊

[@lynnfletcher998]

I also love the fairy lights they look like snowballs and I don’t mind the Whitehall either one has that cubist look. Have a lot 1 turned 65 on Easter Sunday and had my cake on one of my cake plates with the 8 inch serving plates and Iced Tea in my glasses that are Fostoria but even if they were Whitehall.

[@shannonbeaird7861]

When I clicked this video I told my husband “Granny Pat is going to show me her Fostoria” because I always feel like you are talking directly to me:)

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

My knowledge is minimal.

[@MariaLovesThis]

I love seeing your collections and seems like you got some sunshine there!!!!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I’m up early this morning. The sun is shining on my wall. I could write my name on the glass of my pictures! I think I need to get out the Windex.

[@deannalatorre4772]

The story about your 80th birthday had me laughing out loud. Can’t wait for more stories. Would love to see your fostoria in the sun. I just subscribed.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Thank you! Keep watching. I will try to entertain you.

[@prettylady995]

Your trip sounds wonderful! Love hearing history about things!! Please tell your friend who lost her son I am so sorry for her she is in my thoughts and prayers!!❤️

[@rogerhughes8998]

My mother collected it, it was her wedding crystal! We had an aunt on my father’s side that collected it as well. My parents inhertied her estate, so we have double some things.

[@richardstratton575]

Granny Pat! Glad to see you and hear you today. I always enjoy your new stories, dishes, and up coming adventures. I enjoyed seeing the American Fostoria dishes. I love how you explain the details of American Fostoria. I enjoy hearing about your Father and his life adventures. pre and post World War II era is so special and I’m going to look up the places you mentioned he built. Cumberland Falls is a place I’d love to visit. Seeing the Moonbow would be unforgettable. Your life is very special. Bless you and your family and friends.💕carson

[@melishamason7241]

I enjoyed your video. The dishes are beautiful. I hope you find some more goodies to add to your collection while you are on your trip. Have a fun safe trip. I can’t wait to see what you find. ❤

[@davidheia8244]

I have Whitehall stemware in Harvest Gold and also in Amber - they are so close close in color. Very confusing! I also have a few pieces of Fostoria American in crystal - it truly sparkles in the sunlight! Have fun at the Bash!

[@yoselindeurena1640]

Hi I like your stories it’s really educational, thank you 👏👏👏🥰

[@bonitakupton]

What a beautiful collection! I’ve just started. Thank you so much for the tips on the differences between Fostoria and Whitehall. So helpful!

[@ElizabethOsterhoudt]

I appreciate your lessons, Granny Pat! "Dog feet," handles on pitchers... So glad you got your candle holders! Does the "star" design on the bottom of the glass tell you it is Fostoria?

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Not always! Some stemmed dishes/glasses have a round base; some have a hexagon base - both are Fostoria. Star Combined with other shapes, yes. (Hard to answer). Google the FOSTORIA WEBSITE. They can show pictures and give you answers re Fostoria and Whitehall. I have a few Whitehall pieces. If a bowl/dish has ‘peg’ feet, it is Whitehall. Fostoria feet are wide with a dividing line down the middle. Kinda like a bulldog. I don’t want to confuse you. I’m not an expert!

[@ElizabethOsterhoudt]

@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 Thank you!

[@lynnfletcher998]

Hi Granny Pat your telling all our secrets lol…I also started with the rum cake stand. I find the Americana everywhere here in Florida. I have pieces and enjoy them in my bedroom for makeup jewelry and brushes. Recently found tall footed ice tea glasses one dollar a piece along with the 8 inch salad/dessert plates. A set of 12 love them……

[@PatiencesMom]

Granny? Pls put the 2 oval dishes together. I think its a ring holder.

[@MagnoliaEmporium]

So sorry to hear about your accident, but so glad you are ok!!! Hope you had a great trip... Xoxo Randolph

[@veronicadoesitall6327]

I was wondering about you! So happy to see your upload!

[@diannehart9981]

❤❤❤❤ Check the bottom of your Fostoria. If you have 3 seams, you have Fostoria ❣️

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I don’t mean to correct you, but keep in mind that it is the ‘stemmed’ glassware that has the three seams.

[@diannehart9981]

Compote

[@rogerhughes8998]

Oh my, I almost lost my breath with those lidded candy dishes. Mother brought those out at special occasions and we children had to be careful of getting out candy.

[@PatiencesMom]

You didn't show the water gobblet. Lol that's my all favorite.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I’m not sure about the various glasses. I have one glass that is straight up and down, no stem, about 6”. I haven’t seen another one anywhere. I don’t have complete sets of the glasses.

[@PatiencesMom]

@Chit Chat with Granny Pat thats a gorgeous straight up and down glass. :) I'd love a seat or even just one to have in the odd glasses collection in my curio.

[@helengardner2714]

Love You.

[@pamelaromero2364]

I too have a small collection of Americana Fostoria that belonged to my paternal grandmother and have learned from you that they are original. My daughter has no interest in them, so my daughter in law will get to enjoy them.

[@zaarteestdanaportiermorvan2453]

Did Fostoria come out with colored glasses in the American pattern?

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Google Fostoria. I know nothing about the colored glass.

[@formermichiganian]

You are too funny! I couldn't believe they wouldn't serve you alcohol because you didn't have any identification. Well, at least they had your Dr Pepper. I like Dr Pepper too. Haven't had it in a long time, but it's good.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I’m so sorry about your accident….

[@Sonyaj2007]

I live in Wetumpka ❤

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I was there last March. You have a lovely little community.

[@jeanhawkins6260]

Hi granny Pat...live your videos! I have a lot of fostoria glassware I inherited from my mother...and I live in fostoria😊.

[@mscapricorn-ce1pl]

That is comical about the waiter asking for ID and everyone is obviously over 30 years old and over! If I heard the waiter tell a family member or friend that I would reply: "Anyway, Alcohol is not healthy and too expensive!!!! 😏

[@texmex124]

Beautiful Table website ….do you mean Facebook site!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

At the bottom of your FB page, there are three lines that say MENU. Click and see a list of websites. One says GROUPS. Click. Scroll until you see BTS. (Beautiful Table Settings).

[@lindarussell1932]

Is fostoria only if clear glass? a

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

You can search the Fostoria American website for information. I’m not familiar with the colored pieces.

[@BibleBound333]

I wouldn't trust myself around all that glass.

[@helenpeterson315]

Loving your chatty instructive info, thank you for your lovely posts, enjoying them all immensely,my mother had many of the pieces you have and recalling the pride she took in setting a proper table with them, so infuriating that family members came and appointed themselves to remove all her kitchen and dining room things and household things and either tossed or sold at a yard sale, with zero regard for any of its purposes or respect for their history or that we daughters should have the things instead of random yard sale nickels and dimes it brought to them, thoroughly wrong

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

So sorry! It happens every day. Just keep searching. There are many bargains yet to be found.

[@melvaallen2774]

You Are so Beautiful

[@donnalindsey611]

[@sarahgallegos8652]

Your such a sweetheart...you made me chuckle😃 talking about your cleavage, it was just a lil bit though...not like your purposely trying to "flash" us😒

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

My blouse kept dropping down in front and I kept pulling it down in back. Problems, problems!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

HA! HA!
