Vintage Clear Press Glass Turkey Candy Dish

This is a two-piece covered candy dish or compote sculpted in the form of a tom turkey. The item is constructed from heavy pressed clear glass and features a frosted or satin-like finish on the exterior, which enhances the sculptural detail of the plumage. The top section (the lid) depicts the turkey's upper body with a gracefully curved neck, a textured head featuring bobbly caruncles, and detailed overlapping wing feathers. The base section forms the lower body and includes a flared, circular foot for stability. The broad, fan-like tail is attached to the base, providing a dramatic backdrop for the piece. Measuring approximately 7 to 8 inches in height, the glass displays a mid-20th-century aesthetic common in American pressed glass by manufacturers like Indiana Glass or L.E. Smith. The condition appears good with no obvious large chips or cracks visible in the photo, though typical shelf wear on the bottom of the base or flea bites along the inner rim of the lid are common for this age. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the deep, crisp molding of the feathers and the uniform application of the frosted finish.
