**VINTAGE 1980 FOSTORIA CRYSTAL NATIVITY — SECOND EDITION: "THE MAGI"**
**ULTRA-RARE SINGLE-DIGIT SERIAL NUMBER: No. 7 / 3000**
Available now is a beautiful vintage 1980 Fostoria Crystal Nativity sculpture titled "The Magi" (The Three Wise Men). This is the official Second Edition release from Fostoria's strictly limited holiday series, highly sought after for its stunning craftsmanship and heavy, brilliant glass.
**EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTOR NOTABILITY:**
Unlike standard high-number production pieces, this specific sculpture features an incredibly rare, low single-digit serial number. The bottom edge is beautifully factory-hand-engraved: *"Fostoria 1980 No. 7"*. Early single-digit production numbers were traditionally reserved for company insiders, executives, or archival display, making this an elite addition for a serious Fostoria or holiday art glass collector.
**Product Details:**
* **Design:** Intaglio-etched frosted design of the Three Wise Men beautifully suspended within a heavy, iceberg-style arched clear crystal block.
* **Packaging:** Includes the original vintage presentation display box with its vibrant blue satin-lined interior.
* **Dimensions:** Approximately 6.5" H x 6.5" W x 1" Thick. Heavy, premium glass weight.
**Condition Details:**
* **Crystal:** In beautiful, excellent vintage condition. The glass exhibits outstanding clarity. Upon close visual inspection, there are no notable chips, flea bites, or prominent scratches along the faces or edges. As with any authentic 1980 vintage art glass piece, minor microscopic surface or shelf wear consistent with age may be present, though none are readily apparent. The frosted intaglio etching remains sharp and immaculate.
* **Box:** The original presentation box is structurally intact with a clean blue satin interior and working metal hinges. The textured exterior shows typical vintage storage and handling wear. This includes a cluster of dark surface rub marks across the center lid, a few small dings, and some light scuffing/edge indentations along the back spine near the hinge line (as highlighted in the close-up photos).
* **Documentation:** The original paper insert booklet is not included; authenticity is permanently established by the factory-engraved "Fostoria 1980 No. 7" signature on the base.
*Please review all high-resolution photos carefully using the zoom feature, as they serve as the ultimate visual guide to the exact condition of this vintage item.*
