Cool - any updates about what happened at the show? Were there any special exhibits or collections on view? How many people attended?
Over 500 attended the show over the two days. Don Jones and Danny Cornelius who are co-authors of two books on Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) had an exhibit of pressed glass pitchers. They also presented a seminar on EAPG cake plates to about 40 participants. There were also two seminars on Fostoria's American pattern. The seminar on Saturday focused on the colors of American, and the second seminar on Sunday focused on patterns that are similar to American and how to distinguish them. For more photos of the show go to the Fostoria Glass Society of Tennessee's facebook page.
