My mother-in-law's absolutely perfect candy dish. Vintage Anchor Hocking lidded pedestal candy dish, in the popular Wexford pattern. It measures 7.25" with the lid on, without the lid 4.25". Diagonally at the rim, it measures 6.5", base measures 4”. Circumference at the widest part is 21". Condition is used, handled by 7 grandchildren, but still in excellent condition. I've had it in my china hutch since 2004. Sorry, no box. This is a large, heavy item. Probably best not to bundle, for safe shipping purposes.
The Stock Market Crash of 1929, also known as “Black Tuesday,” marked the cataclysmic start of the Great Depression, the largest financial downturn in U.S. history. Despite the financial strain on consumers and businesses, a few creative glass manufacturers managed to survive by producing affordable glassware and creating effective strategies for distribution. This inexpensive glassware—commonly known as Depression glass—was mass-produced from 1920 to 1950. Today these Depression-era relics are widely collected in the United States.
The speed at which Depression glass was produced, coupled with the quality of its wares, is what ultimately made these pieces affordable. They also lent way to a significant amount of flaws. Imperfections such as bubbles, molding flaws, and inconsistent coloring are prevalent in these pieces; however, they rarely affect the value of the wares.

@sherrybear41 Oh, yeah, and to think how old this one is, in particular, it's amazing how they retain their beauty.
