Item Number: 211-DN
Diameter: 10″
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.
- 4¾” Flared (Fruit) Nappy – Item 421
- 6½” Flared Nappy – Item FN-06
- 7¼” Flared Nappy – Item FN-07
- 8¼” Flared Nappy – Item FN-08
- 9¼” Flared Nappy – Item FN-09
- 10″ Flared Nappy – Item FN-10
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.
