Item Number: UR-04
Approximate Size: Not Known
Production Dates: 1925
This particular item is listed in the 1925 Fostoria price list; however, they did not provide a photo/illustration of it, nor did they mention the item’s measurements. Personally, I have never seen this item in all my years of collecting the pattern. Jellies UR-04 and UR-05 are considered rare items.

The Jelly dishes that were produced in the American pattern are interesting. The reason is because they made three different versions that did not have covers, and one that was offered with – or without – a cover. Most people are only familiar with the regular Jelly, as it was produced for a very long time and is the one most often seen. The Flared Jelly that is featured in this post was introduced at the same time as the regular Jelly; however, it had a much shorter life span.
The Flared Jelly looks somewhat similar to the regular Jelly, with two major differences. The flared version is shorter in height, and wider in diameter – all due to the flaring of the dish. When you find one, you might just say “Oh, it’s just another Jelly piece”. It would be worth your while to look more closely at it (especially the shape and measurements), as the Flared Jelly is not an item you see in abundance. It is an open dish, without a cover. It showcases a shapely stem – which is fatter in the middle, with graceful curves.

The High Foot Comports were sold two ways – with, or without a cover. The High Foot Compote & Cover is obviously taller, with a height measurement of approximately 9 inches. This item is really beautiful, and the long stem makes it grand in appearance and stature. It’s a wonderful serving dish for small items of food – such as cookies, treats, and/or candy.
These items were produced for a very long time and are not too difficult to find in today’s market. As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase on eBay. The following link shows available Comports on eBay.
I would also suggest that you search for the additional term “candy dishes”, as some people might refer to this item as such.

Most people don’t realize that Fostoria Glass sold the Jelly dish two ways – with, or without a cover. Often, when a collector finds the Jelly without a cover, they think that it is not complete – or that the cover got broke along the way. Some consumers did not want a cover on their Jelly; therefore, this item was available with two options. Fostoria Glass even designated two different item numbers for these pieces – #448 for the uncovered Jelly, and #447 for the Jelly and Cover.
The Jelly is about 4¼″ in diameter. It is one of the pioneering pieces in the line, debuting in the first Fostoria American 1915 Catalog Supplement. With a very long production life, it was still being manufactured right up until the Fostoria Glass factory closed. In fact, the Jelly (without a cover) was one of the few pieces featured in the 1983 Fostoria catalog – allowing it to live one year longer than its lidded sibling.

This is a beautiful piece of Fostoria American that you can buy quite inexpensively – even today.
