Fostoria | American | Topper Ash TrayThe American 2056 line was the most popular (and expansive) pattern ever produced by Fostoria Glass.  The pattern debuted in 1915, and throughout the decades since, hundreds of different items were designed for a variety of lifestyles.

The Topper Ash Tray is the smallest of all the Toppers.  Other Toppers were also used as smoking accessories; however, the only one used as an ash tray was this smaller Topper.  Interestingly, it does not have a notched area in the rim to hold a cigarette or cigar.

This piece was also produced in White Milk Glass.  Milk glass pieces had a much shorter production run, so they are not as plentiful.

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!  ♥
