Fostoria American Straw Jar & Cover

Straw Jar & Cover

Covered Containers

Item Number:  CC-14
Approximate Size:  4″ Top D – 12″ H
Production Dates:  1915-1928

The main body of the Straw Jar was produced from the same glass mould as the 10″ Vase.  The two items are often confused with each other.  Though made from the same mould, the Straw Jar bottom was made with a bigger opening so that it could accommodate a cover (or lid).  If one tried to put a Straw Jar Cover on a piece that was designed to be a 10″ Vase, it would not fit. The lid would be too big, as the 10″ Vase has a smaller opening in comparison to the Straw Jar.

The Cover is the same piece that is used as the lid for the Sugar and Cover.  This information is good to know, especially if you only have the bottom to the Straw Jar – and are in need of just a cover.

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!  ♥
