the candy dish

The lidded candy dish is a widely available piece in the Wexford series. The taper of the body with the footed base gives this dish a unique silhouette.

Versatility:

First, the Wexford candy dish was produced in the standard clear “crystal” and three other flashed colors:

flashed blue
flashed pink
flashed pewter mist

Second, the lidded dish is convenient throughout the house: ours hold cotton swabs, flossing picks, lens wipes, loose change.

Sometimes they hold candy.

Also, as noted in a prior entry, the candy dish shares a common lid design with the ice bucket/cookie jar.
