Production Dates: 1940-1969
Of all the ice tubs or buckets that were produced in the American pattern, this is the only one that came with a metal handle. The handle can be removed for easy cleaning. Fostoria Glass also sold metal tongs that matched the style of the handle, and these pieces were often paired together. The Ice Tongs; however, were sold separately – Item 971.
This particular ice bucket was not in production as long as the more commonly seen ice tubs. As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase on eBay. The following link shows available Ice Buckets on eBay.

The Oval Almond is a pioneering piece in the American pattern, debuting in 1915. Dates from published authors will vary greatly on this piece, as it was produced sporadically throughout the years. It started off as the Oval Almond; however, it was also known as the “Almond” dish. For example, Fostoria referred to it as the Almond in 1944. This little dish was in and out of production at different points in time.

Out of the four American pieces that Fostoria Glass described as a Centerpiece, this one has the most unique shape. Unlike the others, this centerpiece has three gracefully upturned sides – and rests on three toes. It is approximately 11″ wide and 3¾” high. Another similar-shaped item was also produced, the 3-Toed Tri-Corne. The Tri-Corne; however, was never considered a centerpiece – probably due to its smaller size.

Production Dates: 1933 to mid-1979
Out of all the nappy dishes that Fostoria produced in the American pattern, I believe the “deep” nappies are some of the most beautiful. They make a large and bold statement on the dining table. This particular nappy stands about 4⅜” tall and has an opening diameter of approximately 10-inches. There were only a few deep nappies made in the American pattern. Any collector would be more than pleased to have one, or several, in their collection.
In the 1940’s, Fostoria Glass started to refer to this piece as a Salad Bowl. That being said, the production dates that I have given are in reference to when Fostoria Glass listed this specific item as a “Deep Nappy”. For many years this item was listed in catalogs and price lists under two different names (a Deep Nappy and a Salad Bowl), with the same exact item number. The original 10″ Deep Nappy did not have a foot. I have added “DN” (Deep Nappy) to this piece’s item number to make it easier for proper identification and research purposes.

Fostoria Glass made a large variety of Nappy dishes in the American pattern. They made flared, deep, shallow, handled, and regular nappies; hence, they offered a wide assortment to choose from. In this post, our focus is just on the documented “Flared Nappy” dishes produced in clear crystal. There are a total of six different items, ranging from 4¾” to 10″ in diameter.
All of the Flared Nappies mentioned above were introduced in 1915; however, the majority of them were only produced through 1928. The smaller 4¾” Flared (Fruit) Nappy was the only piece to survive through 1982. The flared nappies were made from the regular or deep nappy moulds and then flared out to the various sizes. Since these pieces were finished by hand, the sizes are approximate. The level of flaring that was applied by the craftsman will determine its final measurements.
