This is the Fostoria American Footed Cake Plate. It is approximately 12 inches across. The Footed Cake Plate (3-Toed) had a long production life and it is still fairly easy to locate in today’s aftermarket. It was produced from approximately 1938-1983.
Be informed, for there is also a Look-Alike Cake Plate in the American Whitehall pattern. Many people selling the Look-Alike item often classify it as Fostoria American, when in truth – it is not. The differences between the two is noted and pictured in my premium Whitehall PDF Report. The American Whitehall piece is called a “3-Toed Cake Plate”.
The Footed Cake Plate is very versatile when it comes to serving your guests different food items. You can serve many desserts other than cake on this plate – from appetizers to cupcakes and more. The possibilities are endless.

The Handled Cake Plate is a very versatile piece. When compared to other Fostoria American cake serving pieces, it is smaller in scale and general appearance. With two handles, it is very easy to transport from one place to the next – and is not bulky in weight. It is a very useful dish for serving a variety of foods – from desserts, appetizers, breads, etc.
The Handled Cake Plate is approximately 10″ in diameter. The measurement from handle to handle is about 12″. It has a beautiful starburst (or ray) design in the center.

Production Dates: 1924-1982
The Fostoria American Square Salver is a very impressive piece of glass. While most people today call this piece a “Cake Stand”, Fostoria called it a “Salver” – which simply means a tray that was especially made for serving food or beverages. Fostoria produced two Salvers – the square one you see pictured here, and the beautiful Round Salver. Other cake stands and/or servers were also made.
The Square Salver is approximately 10″ in width, with a height of about 7¼”. When the two Salvers were produced, Fostoria Glass Company put a higher price tag on the Square Salver. Most of the time, but not always, it is more expensive to buy in today’s market than the Round Salver. The Round Salver was introduced first, around 1916. A few years later, the Square Salver was introduced. Both were kept in the production line until approximately 1982.

Item Number: T-10
Diameter: 10½”
Production Dates: 1934-1943
This is the Fostoria American Handled Cake Tray (with a metal handle). While it is called a Cake Tray, it can be used to serve a variety of other foods, other than cake. It has an approximate diameter of 10½” and has a shiny metal handle in the center of the plate tray. The metal handle is substantial, and looks somewhat like a question mark.
Unlike some of the other Fostoria American cake stands and servers, this piece was only produced for about a decade. An older piece of the Fostoria American pattern, it will not be as plentiful on the open market … but still, one can usually buy the Handled Cake Tray without too much difficulty.
My fascination with this particular version of the Fostoria American cake servers is that it is different. It has a chrome metal handle that shines, and a plate tray that reflects light brilliantly. It is beautiful and elegant … but understated. Perfect for just about any occasion – formal, or otherwise.

Item Number: 639-CS
Diameter: 10½″
Production Dates: 1978-1983
While the bigger cake servers in the American pattern had official names such as “Salver”, Fostoria Glass Company simply called this piece a “Cake Stand”. It is approximately 10½” in diameter, and about 4″ high. Though not as big as it’s siblings, it is still a beautiful and elegant cake server.
While this Cake Stand was produced in the latter part of Fostoria’s reign, as such – it had a shorter production life. It is slightly lighter in weight (though still heavy) than the Round and Square Salvers, and it bears a different design on the plate’s edge. The edges flow upward, with graceful curves or points. Another difference worth pointing out is that this piece does not have an indentation (or “well”) in the center glass.
The Fostoria American Cake stand is definitely a beautiful and wonderful piece, and would be a lovely asset to have in your American collection.

The Fostoria American 10″ Round Salver is a thing of beauty. Most people simply refer to it as a Cake Plate; however, Fostoria Glass Company called it their 10-in. Round Salver. Fostoria also made a Square Salver; however, it is the round version that had a longer production life and is usually easier to find. Both versions are equally gorgeous.
This piece of Fostoria glass is heavy and substantial. Indeed, it is no light-weight and weighs in at 5 lbs. It is about 10″ in diameter, with an approximate height of 7¼”. Made for many years, it’s production ended in the early 1980’s. Afterwards, Fostoria produced the Footed Cake Stand – which was smaller and less expensive.
