Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage Glass Candy Container | Mule Pulling Barrel Cart with Driver | Clear Pressed Glass | Mint Green Screw Cap | Mid Century | 4.5"
$24.00
One mule, one barrel, one very patient driver, and zero candy left. This vintage clear pressed glass candy container is shaped like a mule pulling a barrel cart, with a little driver in a cap perched on top and spoked wheels molded into the sides. The barrel unscrews at the back, closed with a mint green screw-on metal cap.
Figural glass candy containers like this were sold filled with tiny candies at five-and-dimes and drugstores, and kids kept the glass toy long after the sweets were gone. Today they're a favorite with candy container collectors. It looks great on a windowsill where the light comes through, on a curio shelf, or in a farmhouse or country display.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Small bubbles in the glass are from the making, and there's light wear on the cap. Unmarked. Please see all photos.
