American Crystal 8″ Plate Set of Eight by Fostoria

Fostoria American Crystal 8″ Plate Set of Eight

Set of eight 8″ Fostoria Glass plates. Fostoria called their 8″ plate a “sauce bowl liner”. It would work as a salad or side dish also. They have a deep center and slightly upturned rims.

The plates have no chips, no cracks, no liquid damage. They have been used, and do have utensil scratches in the center that can be seen when viewed close-up. The plates reflect a yellowish green indicating an early make. Fostoria made this popular pattern for about 70 years, from 1915 to 1981.

Thick, heavy crystal. Plates weigh 1 pound each. The American pattern was used on a huge line of glassware. Many shapes were made. Some are hard to find, like plates, stemware, decanters. Huge fun to collect a table service.
