Round Salver
Item Number: 630
Diameter: 10″
Production Dates: 1916-1982
The Fostoria American 10″ Round Salver is a thing of beauty. Most people simply refer to it as a Cake Plate; however, Fostoria Glass Company called it their 10-in. Round Salver. Fostoria also made a Square Salver; however, it is the round version that had a longer production life and is usually easier to find. Both versions are equally gorgeous.
This piece of Fostoria glass is heavy and substantial. Indeed, it is no light-weight and weighs in at 5 lbs. It is about 10″ in diameter, with an approximate height of 7¼”. Made for many years, it’s production ended in the early 1980’s. Afterwards, Fostoria produced a new Cake Stand – which was smaller and less expensive.
Fostoria made several different pieces that could be used for serving cake – from trays with glass handles to those with metal handles. There is even a “Tid Bit Set” that is most perfect for serving pre-cut pieces of cake. Even though the official names of the pieces might not have had “cake” in them, their excellent design offers you a variety of cake-serving options.
The Fostoria Glass Company did not offer glass covers or domes for their American Round or Square Salvers. Even so, you might still be able to find a glass dome that will suit your needs. Much will depend on the type of dessert you are serving, along with its height and diameter measurement.
However you slice it – the Fostoria American Round Salver is still one of the most beautiful cake trays that has ever been produced, bar none. As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase on eBay. The following link shows available Round Cake Salvers on eBay.
