This footed candy dish was produced during the Depression Era (1930s-1940s) by the Jeannette Glass Company as part of their popular 'Swirl' pattern line. Depression glass was mass-produced using inexpensive manufacturing methods and often given away as promotional items or sold at affordable prices during the Great Depression, making glassware accessible to average American households during economically challenging times.

Depression glass in ultramarine (blue-green) color is particularly sought after by collectors today due to its distinctive hue and the nostalgic connection to American history. Collectors of Depression glass appreciate these pieces for their affordability, variety of patterns, and the challenge of completing sets. The Swirl pattern with its ribbed design and three-footed base represents classic American glassware design from this era, making it appealing to vintage glass enthusiasts, Depression-era historians, and decorative arts collectors who value mid-century American manufacturing heritage.

Please note one of the bowl’s legs has been damaged. It was smoothed over but it’s visible and gives the bowl a little lean to it. If you don’t mind a little quirky mixed with its age and beauty; this bowl is for you!
