The new and the old sit in contrast of their history. The depression ware dish could have been a sauce dish or a candy dish. There would not be perfectly formed chocolates wrapped in foil with paper tags for advertising inside of this dish years ago. It could of had been a jelly dish or hold cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. The candy back then would have been cooked on the stove until just the right temperature and then cooled, to be cut up into squares for eating. My favorite would be divinity candy placed in there ready for eating. We are using a lot of our older glass pieces now as there isn't time just to let it sit for memories sake only.

I am fond of divinity and fudge like Mother used to make. This is a very pretty dish. I remember depression glass candy dishes at my grandmother's.
Some 20 years ago, a neighbor and her little girls invited me to make home-made hard candy with them at Christmas. It was a lot of work and the candy had "sharp" edges, but it was a fun experience. This is a pretty piece of depression glass. Divinty was a favorite in our family too, with pecans from our own trees.
Wonderful glass bowl and nice finishing of ware…
