Hi Brandon!

Welcome to Antiquers!

They look identical.

If they are, choose just one and take better photos. One of the base, (looks like silverplate) and one of the whole piece, side view, and one from the top.

Of course, now that I suggested the above, I now see that these are the only photos you have.

They don't appear to be antique, but please wait for the glass experts to arrive. I'm thinking the 60's or later, but that's a guess.

 

Hi Brandon and welcome - There is a style that some people call Hollywood Regency. It was a mid-century trend that featured items like those you show. The tops (when marked) usually have a label indicating the glass was made in Western Germany. The base is a pot metal with a bronze finish. You can find these in candlesticks, large stemmed compotes, and candy dishes like yours. I have heard that some furniture stores around the 1960's gave these away as premiums if you bought a suite of furniture. They don't have great value but there are folks who look for this style. Hope this helps. Please note I'm basing my answer just on this one picture and may have to revise my answer if better pictures become available.

Agree with everything Don said.

I would say late 60s. Definitely 1970s.

The damage shows the pot metal and diminishes any value on the one candy dish.

 

Could I atleast sell it for 5 bucks? Couldnt I always take the dish out of the metal? Cause who wants a broken stand?

 

Here are my pics. Thanks everyone.

 

Highly doubt it.
The bowl most likely has a hole in the bottom with a metal "screw" to the base.



Where and how are you selling?
In a space? online? your own store?

 

Do you possibly know what the one without any damage could be worth?

 

I am selling them on facebook.

 

I'm not on Facebook, so don't know how to advise you in terms of pricing. Sorry.

Check back, maybe one of the others will be able to offer advice.

 

Lets not consider facebook as an affecting factor. Could i sell this piece for $90? Im Pretty sure these are rare.

 

$90 is way too much, wherever you sell it. Where I am I would be lucky to get $10-15 for one, but I have no idea of prices on Facebook.
These aren't rare, btw, besides, rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable. Rare can also mean there aren't many out there because back in the day people preferred something else.
Rare is valuable when many people want something and there is just one or a few of that something, and they are willing to pay a high price.

 

These are not rare.
These are 1970s items.
As mentioned the glass was most likely made in Western Germany. They could have been assembled here in the US or possibly Italy.
A lot of this was sold through discount stores like Gemco, White Front, and also furniture stores.
$10 -20 for the good one depending on where you are. Next to nothing for the damaged one. I'd sell as a pair. Being sure to fully disclose the damage on the one.
