<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 322585, member: 308&quot;]Celery was a hard to get item in Victorian times so it was considered worthy of its own dish.&nbsp; It was hard to grow and only available at certain times of the year.&nbsp; This is not to say that the dish couldn&#039;t have been used for other purposes but &quot;celery dish&quot; showed aspirations to the upper classes.&nbsp; Relish and pickle dishes tend to be the same shape but smaller.&nbsp; Relishes were roughly 6&quot; and celery dishes were greater than about 8&quot;.&nbsp; In pattern glass celery dishes were replaced (mostly) by celery vases.&nbsp; JMHO - others may have different measurement standards.&nbsp; Hope that helps!</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
