Back in the 1960s and 70s everyone got at least one and usually several relish trays for wedding gifts, and for many of us growing up then, the relish trays were an indispensable part of Sunday dinner.
Sadly relish trays have all but disappeared. Families today don’t have the experience of using a special piece on the table that creates such wonderful memories of growing up. One great thing about the internet is how we can find discontinued pieces so we to create memories today for our families to cherish tomorrow.
In November of 2008 I was interviewed by Margi Shrum of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for an article she wrote about relish trays for a Thanksgiving tradition. Her article is fun to read and perfect for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Unfortunately the link I have for the article is broken.
The relish tray shown is Meadow Rose etch from Fostoria Glass. It is heavy crystal with a beautiful etch of flowers and swags and has two handles and four small feet. Perfect!
