EAPG Heavy Drape Salt Shaker, Fostoria #1300, ca. 1904

A nice piece of early Fostoria glass that illustrates why their products would come to be placed into the Elegant category! The exceptional clarity of the glass, along with a design that captures the eye, make this a desirable pattern. The large, drooping lobes even suggest movement - the glass appears to (almost) be melting! (ref: McCain book, pg 496; Peterson 1-K bk, pg 27-W)
A 6-part mold was used in making the blown shaker, which measures 3 inches tall to the rim. That rim received a clean-up after removal from the blow tube, but wasn't ground or polished. One of the lowest 'drapes' has a ½-inch wide sliver of a chip that can be felt, but is quite difficult to see. The lid is aluminum and in very good condition; doubtful it is original.
