Youth Plate

Item Number:  #544
Approximate Size:  6½” D
Production Dates:  1980-1982

I have included the Youth Plate as a separate item in the Plates category, even though it was only available in the 3-Piece Youth Gift Set.  Since Fostoria Glass assigned this piece its own unique item number (separate from the item number of the Youth Gift Set), I felt it deserved to be shown as an individual plate.  Many of the items in sets have been dismantled over the years, and it’s always nice to see photos of the individual pieces for identification purposes – especially since a collector might find one while treasure hunting.

As mentioned above, the Youth Plate was part of the Youth Gift Set.  This set was very short-lived and was only in production from 1980-1982.  Obviously, these items will be in very limited quantities.  The Youth Gift Set included the following pieces:

1. Youth Plate #544
2. Straight Baby Bowl #150
3. Handled Baby/Youth Mug #708

If you are interested in purchasing a similar piece, please click the following sponsored link for available Youth Plates on eBay. These do not come up on eBay very often, and when they do, they are usually offered in the 3-Piece Youth Gift Set.  If the plate has since been separated from its original set, then it would be prudent to search for 6½” plates, with a smooth rim.
