Covered Containers, Drinkware & Stemware, Other Serving Dishes

Item Number: 386
Approximate Size: 5″ D – 9″ H
Production Dates: 1924-1982

The Comport and Cover is a beautiful piece of Fostoria American glass. The Comport (with the Cover) has a height of about 9″ and a diameter that is usually between 5″ – 5½”. Old Fostoria catalogs state the size as 5 inches; however, my own personal pieces measure between 5¼” to 5½”. Remember, these items were handmade – so expect some slight variation in measurements.

The Comport and Cover looks like the Big Sister or Big Brother to the Jelly and Cover. Their stems are different, as well as their size; however, they just look like they belong together. They compliment each other beautifully.

This piece was produced for a very long time – from around 1924 to circa 1982 – and is not too difficult to find in today’s market.

I would also suggest that you search for the additional term “candy dishes”, as some people are not aware that the dish was called a Comport.

Protecting your American Glassware

To help prevent damage to our beloved American items, and to allow for easy identification, I like to use storage boxes. A variety of boxes are available, and some of them have windows which will allow you to quickly see the contents of the box. I also like identify each box with the item’s identification number. I no longer have to worry about the safety of my glassware. They are easy to access, and the attractive boxes keep my pantry very organized! ♥
