Item Number: SN-08
Approximate Size: 8″ D – 1¾” H
Production Dates: 1916-1925
The Shallow Nappies look slightly different from all the other nappy dishes in the American pattern, simply because they are shallow – and without great depth. I personally like the appearance of these pieces, for they have a beautifully crafted bottom and look very elegant. These are vintage pieces, and those that survived could be over 100 years-old. In addition to the 8″ size, Fostoria Glass also produced a smaller 7″ Shallow Nappy.

You might have to sort through a whole assortment of bowls to finally see an authentic Shallow Nappy, as they are not a common item. Every now and again, they will show up on eBay.

The Shallow Nappies look slightly different from all the other nappy dishes in the American pattern, simply because they are shallow – and without great depth. I think Fostoria Glass must have thought so, too, because they did not picture the Shallow Nappy with the other nappy dishes when they debuted and cataloged the pattern in 1915. It was pictured and grouped with the Fruit Bowl (aka Tom & Jerry), the Comport, and the Sandwich Plates. Fruit (stewed, fresh, canned, or preserved) was very much in favor in 1915. Many people enjoyed their fruit served in similar shallow dishes, and it just seems logical that Fostoria Glass would have featured an appropriate serving dish to go with their Fruit Bowl.

Item Number: 501
Approximate Size: 5″ D – 2¼” H
Production Dates: 1915-1982
Fostoria Glass made a large variety of Nappy dishes in their American pattern. This particular handled nappy has a unique shape of three corners. Like many of the American Nappies, it made its debut in 1915 – and enjoyed a very long and happy life.
Nappies are often defined as little bowls; however, Fostoria Glass produced both small and large nappy dishes. In the early years, most of their bowls (even the large 10″ size) was described as a “Nappy”. The American lineup of nappies includes those with or without handles, squared, flared, and even this three-cornered design. With so many options available, finding one to suit your needs should prove to be quite easy.

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.
