Fostoria Glass made a large variety of Nappy dishes in the American pattern. They made flared, deep, shallow, handled, and regular nappies; hence, they offered a wide assortment to choose from. In this post, our focus is just on the documented “Flared Nappy” dishes produced in clear crystal. There are a total of six different items, ranging from 4¾” to 10″ in diameter.
- 4¾” Flared (Fruit) Nappy – Item 421
- 6½” Flared Nappy – Item FN-06
- 7¼” Flared Nappy – Item FN-07
- 8¼” Flared Nappy – Item FN-08
- 9¼” Flared Nappy – Item FN-09
- 10″ Flared Nappy – Item FN-10
All of the Flared Nappies mentioned above were introduced in 1915; however, the majority of them were only produced through 1928. The smaller 4¾” Flared (Fruit) Nappy was the only piece to survive through 1982. The flared nappies were made from the regular or deep nappy moulds and then flared out to the various sizes. Since these pieces were finished by hand, the sizes are approximate. The level of flaring that was applied by the craftsman will determine its final measurements.

Item Number: CP-01
Diameter: 15″
Production Dates: 1935-1944
Of all the centerpieces that the American pattern produced, the 15″ size is the largest and the least plentiful. Some folks refer to this piece as the “hat-shaped” centerpiece, based on how it looks. With its large diameter flaring out like a rim on a hat, it’s easy to understand the visible connection. Fostoria Glass simply called this item their 15″ Centerpiece, and it is approximately 4¼” tall. Please note that many times this centerpiece may have a larger measurement of 16-inches. That is the measurement of the one I have in my collection. Fostoria Glass; however, described its size as 15-inches. As we all know, expect slight size variations with glass that has been finished by hand.
Being in production for less than ten years greatly impacts it current supply in the aftermarket – especially when compared to the smaller centerpieces. This item was produced from the original Hotel Cracked Ice mould, which resulted in a beautiful and distinctive center design. This same design can be seen in a couple of other pieces, such as the 18″ Torte Plate. It is, without a doubt, one of the most gorgeous and artistic pieces in the entire 2056 line. Due to its unique appearance, it is relatively easy to identify.
