Huguenot Royale White Green Glass Covered Candy Dish

This item is a vibrant emerald green glass covered candy dish, identified by the context as 'Huguenot Royale White'. It features an elaborate pressed glass pattern, indicative of early to mid-20th-century glassware. The dish consists of two main parts: a footed bowl and a fitted lid, both crafted from deeply colored translucent green glass. The bowl sits on a flared circular base, which is also patterned with what appears to be fluting or radial lines and a scalloped edge. The body of the bowl showcases a combination of complex geometric patterns, including diamond-cut motifs and areas of starburst or hobnail designs, creating a multifaceted surface that catches and reflects light. A distinct feature towards the top of the bowl and on the lid is a band of cross-hatching or basketweave pattern. The lid itself mirrors the intricate designs of the bowl, tapering upwards to a decorative finial. This finial is also faceted and diamond-cut, culminating in a pointed top, serving both as an aesthetic element and a practical handle for removing the lid. The glass appears to be in excellent condition with no visible cracks, chips, or significant scuffs, maintaining its original glossy finish. The craftsmanship suggests a production method involving casting or pressing, achieving detailed designs that are characteristic of collectible glassware from the Depression Era or slightly later periods. The deep green hue is consistent throughout, suggesting a uniform manufacturing process. The overall design evokes an elegant and somewhat ornate aesthetic, typical of pieces intended for display or special occasion use.
