1 (One) FOSTORIA DESIGNER COLLECTION Alexandrite OOAK Glass Vase. This is a Fostoria Glass Designer Collection OOAK vase in Alexandrite purple.

James Carpenter was furloughed from Steuben for a year starting in 1977 to create, the 28 pieces in 4 groups that were shown in the collection. The line proved very expensive to create. As a consequence fewer than 1200 pieces were created in total before the line was cut from production in 1978. A Wonderful Christmas, Wedding, Anniversary or Any Occasion Gift. Or Addition to Your Own Collection. Height: 7 5/8 in. Crafted in the USA. NOTE: All accepted offers must be paid within 24 hours or the order may be canceled.
