In my original posting I thought this was a cake plate and stand, boy was I off base. A wonderful contributor to CW informed me that this was actually a Fostoria Cheese and Cracker Set, #2368 with #277 Vernon etch. Thank you TallCakes for setting me straight.
What you have is a Fostoria #2368 cheese and cracker set with their #277 Vernon etch c1928-36. the cheese compote sits atop the plate in the designated ring.
Wow, great info, thank you so much!
Boy do I feel dumb...:)
no need to 'feel dumb'; this is a really nice set!
Thank you.
love the new pics : )
Thanks, I just had to fix it...:)
TallCakes: do you mean cubes of cheese would go in the compote, and crackers would sit around on the plate?
Hi Gillian. Given the time period I was thinking more like a cheese ball or something soft that you could dig into with a cracker. I don't know, just guessing, see what TallCakes has to say.
need to find old magazine ads from the era... my guess would be a soft cheese spread for a dip too.
