Jelly and Cover

Item Number: 447
Height: 6¾”
Production Dates: 1915-1982

Fostoria | American | Jelly and Cover The Fostoria Glass Company made a few Jelly or Jam pieces in the American pattern – one of which was the Jelly and Cover. Looking like a candy dish, many people often classify it as such. While the Jelly and Cover was originally described and named for serving just that, this beautiful dish will also serve candy and other small foods rather nicely.

The Jelly and Cover is approximately 6¾” to 7″ in height, and about 4½” in diameter. It is one of the pioneering pieces in the line, debuting in the first Fostoria American 1915 Catalog Supplement. With an amazing production life, it was still being manufactured right up until the early 1980’s.

Back when this piece was first introduced over a hundred years ago, serving jelly or dessert in this type of glassware was very popular – especially in the 1800’s – and for years thereafter.

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! ♥
