Item Number:  478
Approximate Size:  5¼” D – 3⅜” H
Production Dates:  1934-1973

The American 2056 pattern offered different types of mayonnaise dishes.  Consumers had a choice of buying most of the mayonnaise components by themselves – such as just this dish, or the Mayonnaise Plate.  A more complete mayonnaise set (Item 477) can be found – which includes the Mayonnaise, Plate & Ladle.

It is also worth noting that I have seen slight size and shape variations on this item.  The main difference has been seen in the flaring of the top edges.  Since they were finished by hand, the final shape was determined by the craftsman.  When more flaring is applied, the item will have a bigger diameter and probably be slightly smaller.

Protecting your American Glassware

Storage Boxes

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!  ♥
