Fostoria American Round Puff Box & Cover

Shaker No. 2, “P” Top

Item Number: SS-08
Approximate Size: 3″ H
Production Dates: 1915-1923

The Pearl Disc “P” Shakers had a shorter life span than most of the other shakers in the American line. Hence, they are extremely hard to find. When you do find them, the pearl wafer has usually cracked or turned in color. The metal band can still be found in relatively good shape; however, most times they will have a few dents in them, especially around the top edge.

This particular shaker is quite lovely, especially with the intricate details of the top. The pearl wafer is lightweight, so one has to be careful as they can be easy to dent, crack, or bend. Fostoria Glass described them as the following: “P Top is pearl disc with non-corrosive band.”

The glass portion of the shaker is Shaker No. 2, which was produced with a variety of lids. These shakers (and others) are referenced in my book, Fostoria American In-Depth Review and Identification Guide, on page 85 – in the Shakers & Salt Servers Chapter.

Protecting your American Glassware

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! ♥
