The Federal Glass Company was established in 1900 in Columbus Ohio and operated their glass making by hand, making pressed glassware, some of it with needle etchings. Federal Glass had the business acumen to anticipate the publics need for a large amount of glassware for a reasonable price and made the step over to automated productions as soon as they were able, becoming one of the best and most prolific companies to produce cheaper glasses and pitchers and jugs by machinery. The 1930’s saw Federal Glass emerge as one of the leading producters in machine pressed, molded tableware in various colors, and in the forties they expanded their operations to include service to the food service, or restaurant industry. During the next decades after the forties the Federal Glass company emerged as a lead supply house to many commercial food institutions not only nationally but world wide.
Patterns which the Federal Glass company made include: Colonial Fluted "Rope"- (1928-32) (Crystal, Green) Columbia- (1938-1942) (Crystal, Pink) Diana – (1937-1941) (Amber, Crystal, Crystal Decorated, Pink, Frosted Colors) Fruits – (Crystal, Pink, Green) (1931-1936) Georgian – (Amber, Crystal, Green) (1931-1936) Madrid – (1932-1939) (Amber, Blue, Crystal, Green, some Iridescent, Pink) Normandie – (1933-1940) (Amber, Crystal, Iridescent, Pink) Parrot (Sylvan)- (1931-1932) (Amber, Some Crystal, Green) Patrician – (1933-1937) (Amber, Crystal, Green, Pink) Rosemary (Dutch Rose) (1935-1937) (Amber, Green, Pink) Sharon (1935-1939) – (Amber, Crystal, Pink, Green) |

Hi There Monna. Federal Glass Moonglow was produced mid seventies I think, but I”ll have to double check that to be postive. While its not super old its something that a lot of collectors are just wild about.

Hi – I’ve inherited a set of dishes with the Federal Glass Co mark. They are clear glass with the heart, club, spade and diamond images embossed in red and black on each piece. I have 4 large plates, 4 small saucers, 2 coffee cups, 4 desert cups and one sugar bowl with lid. They’ve been stored at the family home for many years. I can’t find a website to help me date and value them. Can you help?

I have a loaf pan, oval/rectangle, heat proof, and what I believe to be a salad bowl and smaller 6 salad dishes that are all avacodo on the bottom and gradually turn brownish (lots of little dots), on the top. Could you please let me know the worth and pattern name.

I have 8 custard bowls & a dish similar to a loaf pan except a little shorter & wider with a raised circular area on the bottom. They are marked with the F shield design & Heat Proof. They are all white glass with a blue floral design. Any idea when they would have been made or what the design was called?

I have a set of four Federal mini-mug shot glasses. These all have a gold rim which I have not been successful in researching on. Any information would be most appreciated!

How much would a Normandie set be worth? Someone is offering to sell me a 100 pieces of it for 700, which would include shipping and insurance.
Thanks
Denise
Please send the answer to my e-mail also.
