I have this really cool candy dish. Its measures around 11.5" tall and 5.5" wide. I have the usual basic questions. Who made it? How old is it? What do you think I could get for it? Thanks Kevin

Is there a pattern on the glass ?? Other than the shape ?? Looks like some that Libbey did in the 60`s / 70`s !! But here again I am no glass expert !!
-
no pattern just the shape of it. I don't know if it will help but one thing that stands out to me is how thin the glass is.
-
Some were very thin walled !! Honestly, I do not think this is a candy dish !! How large is the opening at top ?? Can you get your hand in it comfortably ?? All the way in ??
-
No I can't fit my hand in there. What would it be for?
-
Check out Imperial Glass sure looks like one of there stems, but have not seen any imperial of this color. Almost look like a Kemple Glass Blue. Pattern may be refer to a quilt.

Agree mart opening is to small for candy dish, Shape looks like an Ivy Ball vase but I have not seen any with a lid. maybe a lidded sugar base was broken from the set and added to the Ivy Ball vase. ???
-
I'll have to pay closer attention to the size of the opening next time I go to my garage. I think I would be able to get candy out with my fingers until it got low. I have seen lots of candy dishes my hands wouldn't fit it and I always just picked it up and dumped some out into my hand.
Could it be for a vanity to hold cotton balls or something else a woman might need? I think chick hands would probably fit.

I think sometimes Glass items is just made for decorative purposes, and any funtionablity is secondary.

The ones I remember were indeed used for cotton balls, or potpourri or just to look pretty in the bathroom !! Might have been Imperial but Libbey is what comes to mind !!
