During the holiday I helped my Mom get down little used serving dishes. One of them that was brought down during the dish shuffle was this domed candy dish. My Mom has never used this candy dish but it was my grandmother's (her mother-in-law). She asked if I wanted it, the answer but of course! She told me that my Dad bought it at a dime store for my Grandmother when he was young. I'm guess it was purchased in the mid to late 1940's.
This candy dish sat on my Grandmother's coffee table in the living room for as long as I can remember. She filled it with ribbon candy during the holidays. Not a kid's favorite candy but is sure was pretty to look at. Now it is filled with pink and white M & M's and was the starting point for my Valentine's Day display. I added another candy dish filled with hearts, a creamer with a dried rose, champagne flute and vintage pin.
That lidded dome was tall and I'm sure hard for little hands to handle. The rim of the dish has several chips but it does not diminish it's beauty. Kind of like lines on someones face, they added character.

I also added a hand holding a little love.
The creamer I have had for many years, I like the delicate detail at the top.
I love this candy or nut scoop.
The candy dish is etched and has patterned air bubbles in it, and interest touch. I was please I got a picture to turn out of the etching.

I hope you have few cherished chipped pieces at your house.
