Up for auction we have an antique Fostoria Coin Dot ruby red heavy glass covered compote or candy dish. I understand that they are more valuable with the coins in the design! This beautiful piece measures nearly 8 1/2 inches tall including the eight sided final and 5 1/8 inches diameter at the top. With the lid removed the depth is nearly 2 3/4 inches. This wonderful antique is in excellent condition with NO chips, cracks, or repairs. The coins alternate between one (dated 1887 with an eagle with shield, arrows and olive branch) (reminds me of the presidential coat of arms) and the other coin having a torch on top of a sun with 12 rays. There are 8 coins 1” in diameter on panels around the middle and 8 coins 5/8” in diameter on panels around the top. This great heavy glass piece weighs 3 pounds!

For quick shipment I accept PayPal. Thank you for taking time to view my auction. REMEMBER, multiple purchases will save you postage!
