Moundsville’s Fostoria Glass, was once the #1 hand blown glass company in the US. People wanted Fostoria settings on their Sunday and holiday dinner tables. China cabinets showed off extensive Fostoria collections. Though strong enough to survive the Great Depression, changing tastes and foreign competition led to Fostoria’s closing.

These are their mwemories, gathered by Gary Rider and Roseanna Dakan Keller.
