I love glass and have been drawn to it since I was young. I love the wonderful vintage candy dishes I've been finding in the thrifts. Recently I found a new one in Green!
When I found this piece it was soooooo dirty!
Years of grime had accumulated in the raised design.
I soaked in soapy water and scrubbed it with a toothbrush to remove all the dirt!
Look at that shine!
This is made by Imperial Glass and is the Swirl and Lace Design and is a lovely Emerald color. I paid $3 for it and I am thrilled!

I hope you will stop by these fun parties and enjoy all the other vintage and thrifty finds!
Hugs,
Linda

That is a beautiful candy dish! What a treasure! I'm glad you found it & rescued it.
That was really a pretty green dish there. You should have showed us before and after pictures - sure looks beautiful and shiny now! Hope you are having fun. sandie
I would be thrilled too! Reminds of the candy dishes the dime store sold and my Mom or Grandmother would have. Sure sparkles!

I love to see a dish rescued and find a loving home. hee hee! It's really pretty, Linda.
Glad you rescued this lovely piece. It is a very pretty dish to enjoy.
That is a pretty little dish.
Your header caught my eye - very Irish. Your dish is wonderful. I love it when I find a treasurer, hidden under dust and neglect, just waiting to shine when given a little love. Good job.
Love that candy dish. I am drawn to the dark green vintage glass. You really got a treasure and at $3 - you really did good.
Last summer I was attracted to anything glass at garage sales. It got to be a joke with my BFF sale partner. I couldn't stop myself! I so would of snagged your little green number for $3.00.

These take me back to my childhood and my grandmother's house.
One thing I've learned to use in cleaning vintage glass items is denture cleaner. Have you tried it before?

Such a pretty glass piece, Linda! Sometimes we have to scrub and scrub so we can feel comfortable about having these old things in our houses! I am the queen of disinfectant spray, BTW! LOL
Can't wait for the weather to start warming up so I can get out thrifting. I need a fix! ~ Sue
What a great find! I love the green.
I love this this piece Linda! I have the same one in gold. I would love to have more! thanks for joining TTF and have a wonderful day!
Love this piece! I could kick myself though as back in the 70's I had several pieces in this color and also in gold but I got rid of them when the avocado green and harvest gold went out of style!
If only I would have known!!
Hugs,
Deb
