Fry made a very beautiful "Art" glass known as "Fry Foval". It is highly collectible today. Sort of a thin, milky color deepening around handles, etc., to a bright green or blue. I have two lovely cups and saucers, and my sister has the other two. There was a fat round tea-pot when I was little, but it broke, unfortunately. Very "Art Nouveau".
