I had been on the hunt for a candy dish like this for years. Aunt Sara had one like this that sat on her coffee table in her den. I don't know who ended up with it, but it was our family. I remember, as a child, being allowed to take a piece of candy out of the dish when we would visit. There was always something exciting about taking the lid off and seeing what sweet treasures were inside.
I searched ebay for years and finally started finding some good results. I bid on this one. It actually was not located too far from me. I loved the colors of it. Well, I won the auction and have had this beautiful piece ever since. Being a ceramic piece, the name stamped into the bottom of it is actually the same name as a former resident of mine at work. Now, whether it's the same person, I really don't know since she has passed away. But, I like to think that it was meant to be.
I love the shape of the piece. There's just something magical about it to me. Maybe it's the feelings it brings up. I don't know. It's just pretty and I enjoy it and that's enough for me!
