Rose Bowl – 5″

Item Number: 149
Approximate Size: 5″ H
Production Dates: 1935-1958

Fostoria | American | Rose Bowls The Fostoria American pattern produced Rose Bowls in two different sizes – a 3½″ version, and a larger 5″ Rose Bowl. The one pictured here is the 5″ size. This particular Rose Bowl has a neck opening of about 2 inches. There is a band of approximately 1″ of clear glass surrounding the neck.

The base of this Rose Bowl is approximately 3¼″ wide, with a pointed ray design on the bottom. Of the two Rose Bowls produced, it is this larger version that was introduced last. Both of the different-sized Rose Bowls were discontinued in the late 1950s.

It is important to note that the 5″ Rose Bowl was later “reproduced” (or re-released) after the Fostoria Glass Company was sold. Other companies, such as Lancaster Colony, reproduced this item. Reproduced pieces can vary in glass quality and in the design. The neck (or opening) of the reproduced 5″ Rose Bowl usually has a larger opening than the one made at the Fostoria Glass Factory. Older Fostoria pieces had a ground bottom and offered greater brilliance from fire polishing.

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! ♥
