    Description

    This listing features one (1)  6" finger bowl underplate or liner made by the Fostoria Glass Company during the years of 1928 to 1944.  The plate is azure blue in color, and features the popular "June" etching.  The first three photos are of the front of the underplate, and the remaining three photos are of the reverse of the underplate.
    The finger bowl underplate is in excellent vintage condition having no flakes, nicks, or chips.  It does have a very few thin usage marks on the milled-off section on its reverse side (the area that touches a table or shelf).
    You can see what appears to be scratching in the center-left section of the plate in the first photo.  This is not from a scratch.  I checked the plate with a jeweler's loupe, and this was caused by the acid or etching tool.
    It is quite common for Fostoria June pieces to have both microscopic bubbles and what I refer to as "acid faults" which occurred at the time of manufacture.
    The Fostoria decorators inadvertently left microscopic disturbances resulting from the acid or etching tool they were using in the etching process.   The best way to discern these areas are "acid faults" and not scratches is to study the piece with a magnifying glass.  As these things occurred at the time of manufacture, they do not affect the value of the piece.  I have seen both a speck of dirt and tiny bits of string in Fostoria June pieces.
    Please know that this is not as noticeable in person as it appears in the photos - these are closeups and, in addition, my camera takes high-def photos.
    I will ship the finger bowl underplate or liner to you via USPS Priority Mail with tracking and insurance.  I will accept a return of the plate within 30 (thirty) days of your receiving it with the following:  the return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer; and there can be no change, damage, or alteration made to the piece(s).
    Please be aware that in order to help reduce the amount of packing materials in our landfills, I do re-use packing materials such as bubble wrap, other air pocket products, boxes, etc.
    Should you have any question, please don't hesitate to message me.  Thank you for stopping by my listings!
