Vintage Amber Glass Serving Platter Fleur De Lis Handle Frosted Etched Tray 11"
This vintage amber glass serving platter features an ornate fleur-de-lis finial handle and frosted botanical etching, combining decorative appeal with practical function. Crafted in warm amber pressed glass, the platter displays leaf and floral motifs arranged in a balanced radial design that adds texture, depth, and soft light reflection. The raised center handle allows for easy serving and also makes the piece suitable for display as a tabletop accent or centerpiece.
This tray is Fostoria-style in both handle form and overall tray design; however, it is not attributed to Fostoria. In original Fostoria examples, the stem below the fleur-de-lis is shorter and thicker, creating a compact, integrated profile. By comparison, the stem on this tray is taller, slimmer, and more elongated. Research also confirms that Fostoria did not produce this tray with the etched pattern shown, nor was it made in this amber color. The piece represents a classic example of American pressed-glass design from the early to mid 20th century and appeals to collectors and design enthusiasts drawn to ornamental vintage glass.
