This bowl has a cupped-in rim, making it unique in shape. Fostoria Glass did not attach a specific purpose for this item; therefore, it is generally considered to be a bowl or serving piece. I have also seen it used as a vase, which was beautiful. The purpose of the Cupped Bowl should be left up to you, the collector. With a little bit of creativity, this bowl can serve multiple functions.

Once a tradition among those with well-mannered dinner guests, the use of a finger bowl soon began to fade after World War I – mainly due to government rationing orders. To properly use a finger bowl, gently dip all five of your finger tips (of one hand) into the water at the same time. With a napkin, dry your hand off as discretely as possible. Repeat with the other hand. Once finished, set the finger bowl to the top left of your dinner plate (near the bread plate).
These little glass bowls were usually served to dinner guests after the main dinner course, prior to dessert. Even though the use of finger bowls is not a wildly practiced custom today, they still would add an elegant touch to a formal dinner party. For alternative uses in modern times, we have found they make great serving dishes for sauces – and even condiments, such as olives, etc.

While similar in appearance to the Footed Handled Bowl, this later version is not elevated. Sometimes collectors will unofficially refer to this item as the Handled Trophy Bowl, based on its shape and appearance. It is a wonderful serving bowl, and when passing food around the table, the large and double handles provide great ease and comfort.
