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.

Production Dates: 1915-1959
The 8″ Deep Nappy is another pioneering piece in the 2056 line. Debuting in 1915, it was in production for approximately forty-four years. When compared to other flared or regular-sized American nappies, they were more expensive to buy. The 8″ Deep Nappy cost $2.00 in 1915, which is worth over $60 today! When looking for deep nappies in today’s market, know that they are worthy of a few extra dollars.
One thing worth pointing out is that the original and older nappies have a ground bottom. In other words, they were not footed. Newer pieces were footed, and may be slightly taller than the 4¾” height. (The footed 8″ Deep Nappy is shown in this post.) Sizes are always approximate, and both of mine (footed and unfooted) are about the same size – with only a ⅛” height difference between them.
