The Flower Box is actually the same piece as the Oblong Butter Cover. Fostoria simply described it as two separate pieces, each with a different use. When it was displayed as a Flower Box, it was classified under the “Vases” category. It was only described and shown as a Flower Box for a few years; thereafter, it was eliminated from the catalogs. The Oblong Butter Cover; however, continued to be in production through 1983.

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! ♥
