The Sugar and Cream Tray is most often seen as one piece of a three-piece set, with either the Individual Cream & Sugar – or the Tea Cream & Sugar. The Tray is the same for both sets. When these sets were being produced, you could buy the three pieces as one set, or you could buy any of the three items (Sugar, Cream, and/or Tray) individually.
The Sugar and Cream Tray was produced from 1938 – 1982. It is about 8″ in length when measured from handle to handle. The Tray portion is about 6¾” in length and approximately 4″ wide. The sides of the Tray come up about ¼ of an inch, ensuring that the Sugar and Cream will sit securely in place.
While this particular tray is obviously most used when serving Cream and Sugar, it can also be used with other pieces in the American line. For example, it holds Salt & Pepper Shakers beautifully. It is also the official tray that is used in the 3 Pc. Jam Pot Set. It can even be used for Mini Cupcakes, and individual appetizers or salads.

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.
