Fostoria Chintz 11.5" Bowl Flared #2496 Elegant Depression Glass Art Deco MINT

Description

I just unpacked this beautiful 11 1/2 inch large flared bowl from a box that I had packed away some 25-30 years ago.  The pattern on this bowl is "Chintz" and the manufacturer is the Fostoria Glass Company.  I identified this pattern in the book "Collectible Glassware from the 40's, 50's, and 60's" by Cathy and Gene Florence (copyright 2010, 10th edition).  I have matching candleholders listed as well should you be interested.  This 11 1/2 inch bowl is the largest one listed for this pattern and it features the lovely "Chintz" etching, which consists of various kinds of flowers "strewn together" - kind of like Cambridge's pattern "Wildflower".  The glass blank used is the "Baroque" blank which features an Art Deco flair with fleur-de-lis designs around the bowl (3 of them).  The "Chintz" pattern was manufactured from 1940 through 1977, proving that it was a very popular pattern. Luckily for the buyers out there, this is sometimes an easy pattern to find.  The bowl that I am listing is in PRISTINE CONDITION with no chips, no cracks, no discoloration, no loss of color / etching, no damage whatsoever.  The bowl stands 3 1/2 inches tall and is 11 1/2 inches in length.  Again, this is the biggest bowl that you will find in this pattern so it could be used for salad, snacks, main courses...  You will love this bowl upon closer inspection!!  Please see the photos, check my feedback, and ask any questions before making a purchase.
