This is a SAMPLE glass. It is truly unique as it is of the NAVARRE Master Etching, which did not have a production in Yellow / Gold Tint. It is the owner's understanding that circa 1982, an order for a dozen glasses in Yellow Navarre was taken and fulfilled. This is the 13th glass, being the sample for the factory and the other 12 went to the client who custom ordered them. Other than that order, this was not a production color for the Navarre pattern. This goblet can be seen in Juanita L Williams book "Fostoria Glass Scarce, Unique & Whimsies" on page 182 and 198. It can also be seen in her book "Fostoria Glass The Elegant and Master Etchings" on page 9, 123, 206 and 207. The Navarre pattern is a combination of trailing flowers and a floral medallion with scrolls. This glass has a classic elegant style, and the pattern is attributed to Designer Edgar Bottome.
