Pickle

Boats, Celery, Olive, Pickle, & Relishes

Item Number: 540
Approximate Size: 8″ L – 1½” H – 4″ W
Production Dates: 1915-1982

The Pickle dish is another pioneering item in the American 2056 pattern. There were two other similar shaped pieces that were introduced at the same time – the larger Celery and the smaller Olive dish. The sizes of the three oblong dishes ranged from 6″ – 10″. The 8″ Pickle is the medium-sized dish. All of these items make a wonderful trio, and have proven to be great appetizer and buffet servers. They can even be used for other purposes as well.

This dish should not be confused with another pickle item in the American pattern – the Pickle Jar and Cover. The Pickle Jar was also introduced in 1915; however, it looks entirely different from the regular “Pickle” dish. One is a covered jar; the Pickle is simply an open pickle server.

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! ♥
