For your consideration is a Duncan & Miller Glass Co. covered candy box on the Canterbury blank, with Lotus Glass Company's Buttercup etching. Lotus Glass did not produce glass, but purchased glass blanks from other high-end glass companies of the period and placed their own etches and decorations on the blanks for resale. This etching was produced during the 1940's by Lotus. The candy box is 7.5 inches wide and 4 inches tall, with no chips, flakes, or other defects. The rims of the box and cover are both edged in gold, as is the top of the cover finial. The gold decoration is approximately 98% intact. While this etch is occasionally found on service pieces, this is the only candy box I have ever found with it. If you collect candy boxes or etched glass, please see our selection of additional candy boxes available in our store. The shipping price quoted is worst case scenario figured from Florida to Washington, actual shipping will be less for closer distances, and no handling charges are added.
