Fostoria | American | Lemon Dish The Fostoria American Lemon and Cover is another pioneering piece in the American pattern. We know that it was introduced in 1915, based on the information in Fostoria’s 1915 Catalog Supplement. It was also originally offered without a cover. The uncovered version was called the Lemon Dish.

The Lemon and Cover has an approximate height of 3½″, with a diameter of 5½″ (this measurement can vary slightly). The Cover does not have a serrated edge; instead, the top edge is smooth – with two indentations – approximately 180 degrees apart from each other. In contrast, the actual Lemon Dish has two notches on the top edge – making for a perfect and precise fit with the Cover.

Whether used for storing lemons or not, it is a versatile and practical serving piece. It can also be used as a confection and/or relish dish.

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! ♥
