Fostoria American Square Footed Bowl

Square Footed Bowl

Bowls & Centerpieces

Item Number:  181
Approximate Size:  7″ Top Opening; 5¼″ H
Production Dates:  1952-1958

This piece is sometimes referred to as the “Large Wedding Bowl”.  Even though Fostoria never officially described this piece as such, it was made similar (and larger) to the smaller American Wedding Bowl and Cover (Item 163).  The top opening of the Square Footed Bowl is about 7″, whereas the smaller Wedding Bowl has an opening of approximately 6 inches.

The Square Footed Bowl was only produced for six years, so there is not a large supply of them in the aftermarket.  As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase on eBay.  The following link shows available Square Footed Bowls on eBay.

Protecting your American Glassware

Storage Boxes

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!  ♥
