Item Number: SN-08
Approximate Size: 8″ D – 1¾” H
Production Dates: 1916-1925
The Shallow Nappies look slightly different from all the other nappy dishes in the American pattern, simply because they are shallow – and without great depth. I personally like the appearance of these pieces, for they have a beautifully crafted bottom and look very elegant. These are vintage pieces, and those that survived could be over 100 years-old. In addition to the 8″ size, Fostoria Glass also produced a smaller 7″ Shallow Nappy.

You might have to sort through a whole assortment of bowls to finally see an authentic Shallow Nappy, as they are not a common item. Every now and again, they will show up on eBay.

Production Dates: 1915-1928
The Shallow Nappies look slightly different from all the other nappy dishes in the American pattern, simply because they are shallow – and without great depth. I think Fostoria Glass must have thought so, too, because they did not picture the Shallow Nappy with the other nappy dishes when they debuted and cataloged the pattern in 1915. It was pictured and grouped with the Fruit Bowl (aka Tom & Jerry), the Comport, and the Sandwich Plates. Fruit (stewed, fresh, canned, or preserved) was very much in favor in 1915. Many people enjoyed their fruit served in similar shallow dishes, and it just seems logical that Fostoria Glass would have featured an appropriate serving dish to go with their Fruit Bowl.

Approximate Size: 5″ D – 2¼” H
Production Dates: 1915-1982
Fostoria Glass made a large variety of Nappy dishes in their American pattern. This particular handled nappy has a unique shape of three corners. Like many of the American Nappies, it made its debut in 1915 – and enjoyed a very long and happy life.
Nappies are often defined as little bowls; however, Fostoria Glass produced both small and large nappy dishes. In the early years, most of their bowls (even the large 10″ size) was described as a “Nappy”. The American lineup of nappies includes those with or without handles, squared, flared, and even this three-cornered design. With so many options available, finding one to suit your needs should prove to be quite easy.

Item Number: UR-03
Approximate Size: 10″ D – 7″ H
Production Dates: 1917 to mid-1920s
This item was only produced for a few years and is considered to be a rare item. It was also known as the “Hotel Ice Tub”. Of all the ice-holding vessels in the American pattern, the Hotel Cracked Ice is the largest. It has a holding capacity of approximately 10½ pints. This item was not inexpensive when it debuted, costing almost three times as much as the Large Ice Tub. I would imagine that the hotel trade, the fortunate … or the wealthy, were among the initial owners of such a grand piece.

Production Dates: 1916-1958
This is the second Ice Tub produced in the American 2056 line. A separate Ice Tub Plate was also available for purchase, often paired with the Ice Tub. They were not sold as a set, even though they were often used and shown together. Each piece was sold separately.
You will often see the Ice Tubs sold without the Plates, and this could be for a variety of reasons. Over the years, people might have thought the Ice Tub Plate was just another ordinary plate and separated it from the Ice Tub – or the Ice Tub was originally bought separately (without the Plate).
The American pattern produced two Ice Tubs of different sizes. The larger one is featured on the right, and the smaller Ice Tub (with a 5⅝” diameter) is featured on the left.
