This pretty, hand blown candy dish was made back in the 30's by Paden City Glass out of W. Va. It is 555 Ruby Flash or cranberry in color (and has a kind of iridescence to the coloring too) with beaded detail around the edge of the bowl. Love the big, bright ball finial and stem!  Very collectible glassware. 

Of course, being used and almost 100 yrs old, there are a few minor condition issues. There are little dots here and there where the ruby flash is wearing but you can hardly see them. There are bubbles and a double line on the base that doesn't feel like a crack and may just be an internal maker's flaw. This is hand blown glass so no two are going to be totally alike. Finally, there are tiny little chips, or rough feeling areas, on the inside of the rim of the lid.  None of these are real noticeable however and I don't think should take away too much from the collectability of the piece.

(Note –I now use USPS GroundAdvantage for shipping which is a lot . However, it takes couple days longer but is still insured. So, if you need your item within just a few days, let me know and I can ship Priority. Change the shipping method and send me a message.  Also, FYI,  I do offer combined shipping so be sure to look at all of my other wonderful items listed.)

 

Thank you for looking & Happy buying!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to send more photos or answer any questions. My goal is to have a perfect rating by providing perfect service to my customers!  ** Please note the following :

*  DISCLAIMER- My listings are from estate sale/auction finds and are represented as "to the best of my knowledge" and in “as is” condition.  I do not make any guarantees as to the "opinions" stated in the description, though I try to be as accurate as possible based on internet research. The measurements provided are “approximate” and the picture may show a little different due to the angle of the camera or lighting (esp if it seems yellowish) so the description will be the most accurate

  IF THERE IS A LARGE DIFFERENCE IN INVOICE AMOUNT DUE TO DIFFERENCE IN SHIPPING,  I WILL SEND YOU AN INVOICE FOR YOU TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE BEFORE THE ITEM IS SHIPPED.  Similarly, if the postage you pay is more than a couple dollars over, I will send you a refund via Pay Pal.  Also keep in mind, I offer combined shipping discounts for multiple purchases.

YOU MUST HAVE A US ADDRESS FOR SHIPPING as I do not ship internationally.  INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WITH NO US ADDRESS MUST USE EBAY’S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.  Free shipping, if offered, applied only for CONTINENTAL US.

-  I DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS so please check the photos carefully. I try to include ones that have any defects, scratches, etc and try to include such in my description as well. There should be no discrepancy between what you receive and how its described in the listing.  I do, however add insurance to all packages that will cover any loss or breakage in shipment. 

- CONTACT ME IMMED IF ITEM IS RECEIVED DAMAGED SO CLAIM CAN BE PLACED. Should you find an item was damaged in shipping, please keep all packaging until the claim is resolved. Many times, the post office will require to see the broken item and the packing material. I will need pics sent to me of both so that I can make a claim online. But, wait to hear from me that the claim was paid before disgarding the packing.

Finally, should you purchase from me, I thank you!  PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK! IT’S VERY IMPORTANT!  I want to know that you received your item and are happy with your purchase.  I take care to pack each item very carefully to help ensure safe arrival but, should an item be broken, please contact me first before filing claim with Ebay. Since everything is insured, I’m sure we can work it out on our own. I will file the claim and refund your money upon acceptance of the claim from the USPS.

Thanking you in advance for your business!
