Featured A unique covered glass candy dish

Hi and hope you are all enjoying this beautiful fall afternoon. I am going through stuff trying to decide what to keep, what to sell, what to donate. I came upon this covered candy dish. It is hexagon in shape. About 9 inches tall. On each side there are 2 panels pressed into the glass showing men doing different jobs. A butcher, shoemaker, mason and so forth. Total of 12 different industries but I don't know what they all are. They look colonial. I was just curious what they name of the pattern was. I am thinking about keeping it and trying to find other pieces. Google and Worthpoint have not helped because I am not sure of the search terms I would use. Any help would be appreciated. TIA Sherri

 

i'd call it ' Industry '.................but WDIK ..

 

I found this one:

And another:

It doesn't look like the figures are frosted so I wonder if these repros in color and yours is an original in clear glass

 

I have one of these as well, so I'm interested to see if you find anything out!

 

Great find! The detail is kind of lost on the amber colored one on Etsy. Too hard to tell from the pics on the green one someone is selling on Ebay. The one I have appears to be of better quality. Sometime photos don't do an item justice though. A great place to start though. Thanks so much

 

You take great photos. I am jealous.

 

Well thanks. I am never very happy with them. I use my phone and it does a pretty good job. My family bought me a nice camera when I retired and I cannot figure out how to use it. Tooooo many buttons.

 

Well, let's call for help... @TallCakes @Cherryhill

 

It reminds me of an Imperial pattern, but that's not it. I hope Tall can nail it.

 

wish I could be of help by not finding any with qualified attributions. I'm finding in various colors: pink, blue, amber, clear

one blue one is noted as maybe Imperial...

Springerle is a new word to me.

Springerle is a type of German biscuit with an embossed design made by pressing a mold onto rolled dough and allowing the impression to dry before baking.

Given the cookie mold INH found, it's an appropriate name for the pattern.

unmarked clear base w/o mark. but has labels

 

Wow...I go to sleep and wake to find all this amazing info! There is not an Imperial mark on this and no label. Here are a couple of pics of the base:

 

i think the clear one like you have is nicer than the ones that have a color.
This is perfect for grandma's sour ball candies.
