Description
Vintage clear pressed glass candy dish or trinket box featuring a detailed bunny rabbit seated on a textured basket-weave nest. The two-piece set includes a decorative lid and base, measuring approximately 4-5 inches in length. Perfect for Easter decor or as a vanity ring holder.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Animal on Nest' motif, versatile clear color matches any decor, classic farmhouse/cottagecore aesthetic, functional two-piece design.
Authenticity Indicators
Moderate confidence. Authenticity is determined by the specific mold pattern in the nest weave and the thickness of the glass. While many companies like Westmoreland and Indiana Glass made these, this specific mold lacks a maker's mark, characteristic of many mass-produced mid-century giftware items.
Flaws to Note
Look closely for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the inner rim where the lid meets the base. Check the bunny's ears for jagged edges.
