This is a gorgeous piece of history in a bright blue LE Smith "Moon and Stars" candy dish.  This piece was probably produced between 1950-1960s.  It is in fabulous shape for its age with only a slight nick in a couple areas on the lid where it sets down on the dish.  Otherwise I see no other flaws on this piece.  It is highly collected and sought out due to its beautiful pressed glass pattern. 
 
This candy dish is filled with a hand poured soy candle scented with Eucalyptus fragrance oil.  A clean combination of cool menthol and eucalyptus leaves with a light spicy character.

Measurements: dish is approximately 2 3/4" without lid and with lid is approximately 5 1/2" tall and opening is 4 1/2" in.


A little history on this piece of vintage glass below.
L. E. Smith Glass Company – Late 1940’s – 2004

In the late 1940’s, another glass maker started reproducing pressed glass for the Wright Company. (This company is the L. E. Smith Glass Company. In the 60's Moon and Star pieces started to show up in the Smith catalogs in various colors and designs.)

In 1962, the L. E. Smith Glass Company officially contracted with Joseph Weishar of the Island Mold Company to produce some new pieces of “Moon and Star”. The agreements held that the molds would remain the property of Island Mold Company and L. E. Smith Glass would pay royalties for each piece Weishar produced for them. The L.E. Smith glass company never owned any of the Moon & Star molds. They only leased them from the Weishars to press Moon & Star pieces. (Most of L E Smith Moon and Star pieces are not marked. You will find a few pieces marked and when you do they are marked with an S with a G in the top part of the S and a C in the bottom part of the S. Smith marked pieces are hard to find.)
