Lemon Dish

Item Number: 462-NC
Approximate Size: 5½″ D; 1⅝″ H
Production Dates: 1915-1944

Fostoria American Lemon Dish and Flowers Many people think that the Lemon Dish was always offered with a cover. That simply is not true. Fostoria Glass offered this piece with, or without, a cover. This post is in regards to just the Lemon Dish, without a cover. This item was introduced in 1915 and produced for many years thereafter. It was offered without a cover through 1944; however, when the Lemon Dish was reintroduced in 1947, it was only available with a cover.

Without a cover, the Lemon Dish stands about 1⅝″ tall (measured to the top of the handle). This lovely dish can be used for a multitude of purposes – such as a candy, confection and/or a relish dish. I often use it as a unique vase, holding a flower that has been embedded into a lemon wedge. It smells divine, and is always a show-stopper!

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! ♥
