Produced between 1930 and 1938, this piece (Pattern #1401) features the iconic Art Deco 'Dolphin' finial on the lid, a hallmark of Heisey’s most whimsical and celebrated designs.
The base is designed as a square lemon dish with a gently flared rim and a polished bottom, characteristic of high-quality Heisey craftsmanship. The pressed glass retains exceptional clarity and a brilliant fire. This versatile piece serves beautifully as a candy dish, a vanity trinket box, or a sophisticated addition to a spring-themed tablescape.

There is a small chip located on the [rim/edge] of the lid (see photo #12). While it does not detract from the structural integrity or the radiant 'Sahara' glow of the piece, it is priced accordingly. The base is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. See less
