The Fostoria American Individual Sugar can be found as a separate item, or as part of the 3-Piece Individual Cream and Sugar Set. The Individual Sugar is a pioneering piece in the American line. It debuted in the 1915 Catalog Supplement that first introduced the American pattern, and continuously stayed in production until the very end – circa 1982.
The Individual Sugar is about 2½″ tall and it was never available with a cover or lid. The 3-Piece Set included a third item – a Sugar and Cream Tray, and it has a measurement of approximately 8″ from handle to handle. The same Tray was used for both the Individual and Tea-sized Cream and Sugar Sets. Of the two sets, the Individual Cream and Sugar Set is the largest. The Tea Cream and Sugar Set is the smallest.
This item also had a very limited production in Green, mid-1920s only. With a short life span, they are usually much harder to find than their crystal counterparts.

To help prevent damage to your Individual Sugar items, and to allow for easy identification, you might want to start using 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. They are easy to access, and the attractive boxes keep my pantry very organized! I can even store multiples in the same box, if needed.
