<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 2650554, member: 308"]The item is glass and amber is a color description only. To me the dish looks Italian and would fall under the general category of Empoli. A more accurate description for the tag might have been Italian Empoli Glass Amber Candy Dish. If I'm wrong about it being Italian I'm sure others will correct me. Regardless, it's very pretty. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a word of advice. These types of glass items can be very tricky to ship. They need to be wrapped very carefully to reach their new homes intact. You'll need to invest in bubble wrap and a box large enough to allow for two internal boxes, one for the bottom and one for the lid. And you'll need to pad both those internal boxes with at least two inches of newspaper on each side. Start saving newspaper for packing now. Don't underestimate your shipping costs or you'll see all your profits evaporate in postage. Good luck with it.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
