The American pattern offered a variety of sizes and shapes when it came to Salad Plates. One of the main differences between the smaller and the largest plate, besides the size variation, is the plate’s center design.  The largest Salad Plate has a large center; the smaller Salad Plates have a small center.

7″ and 8″ Salad Plates (from left to right)

Some people might confuse the 7″ Salad Plates with the 8″ Salad Plates or the 6″ Bread and Butter Plates, even though there is definitely a size difference between them.  Simply put, the different-named plates look similar.  All three of the plates have the small centers.

Luckily for us, the 7″ Salad Plates are still relatively easy to find.  Just bear in mind, the sizes are approximate – as these pieces were handmade.  Even though the Fostoria Glass Company described this particular Salad Plate as being 7″ in size, the measurement can vary.

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!  ♥
