Any number of glass serving pieces can be used to convey food from the kitchen to the dinning table. The come in a number of sizes and many shapes. Just a few are:
- salt and pepper shakers
- sugar shakers
- oil and vinegar cruets
- gravy boat and dish to catch drips
- sauce boats and dishes to catch drips
- creamer and sugar
- jam jars with spoons
- honey pots
- meat platters
- vegetable bowls
- bread plates
- beverage pitchers
- wine decanters
- cake plate and dome
- trays to carry individual servings, although these are more likely to be made out of silver or some other metal
- relish dishes for pickles, chutney, small pieces of raw or pickled vegetables, olives
The meat and vegetable serving pieces come in several sizes, as do the beverage pitchers and relish dishes. Serving pieces give the glass collector with enough room an almost unlimited scope for collecting. Multiply the kinds of serving pieces by the number of cut and molded glass patterns available, and this can keep you busy for a lifetime.

My mother was telling me that when she was a small child, her mother had some little jars/glasses that one came with pimento cheese in them. These jars/glasses about the size of a juice glass, had tiny little floweres aroung the top and/or bottom of the glass. She currently has one glass and would like to find the rest of the series. I would very much like to surprise her with a set for Christmas. She would be sooooo surprised and very pleased. If any one knows of these or can help me out with them, please contact me at reginasmith@carolina.rr.com. Thanks in advance.
