Fostoria Glass Company was an American glassware manufacturer that operated from 1887 to 1986. It was based in Fostoria, Ohio, and produced a wide range of glassware products, including stemware, dinnerware, decorative pieces, and more. Because of the fuel shortages, the company moved to Moundsville, West Virginia, in 1891. During its peak in the mid-20th century, Fostoria Glass Company was one of the largest employers, with over 1,000 employees. However, the company faced financial difficulties in the 1970s and 1980s.
