Depression Glass Candy Dishes
Depression glass candy dishes were made by eighteen different glass companies. Of the most popular one hundred and fifty depression glass patterns, almost half have depression glass candy dishes in their collection. The Paden City Glass Company and the Hocking Glass Company (later the Anchor-Hocking Glass Company) created the most – with twelve different candy dish patterns each. Other glass companies that produced multiple candy dish patterns were: the Jeannette Glass Company with seven different patterns; the Imperial Glass Company and U. S. Glass Company each made four patterns; and the Westmoreland Glass Company manufactured three different patterns.
Approximately ninety different depression glass candy dishes were made in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors. Out of all of these, only fifteen were produced without a lid. Therefore, the majority contain two pieces of glass – a lid and a base. Lids were manufactured in various styles, ranging from flat shapes to cone shapes. The styles for the bases differed greatly as well. Some bases were flat or round, many had an elevated pedestal, and others were three-footed. Several were made with two handles, and about a dozen were made as either a two-part dish or a three-part dish. Candy dishes were produced in a wide variety of shapes as well. Round or square shapes were the most common, while octagonal, heart, and cloverleaf shapes tended to be more unusual. Although the full rainbow of colors can be found, the most popular colors were pink, green, and crystal.
Almost forty percent of the depression glass candy dish patterns have several different styles in the same pattern. Two or three different styles per pattern are the most common. For example, the Twisted Optic pattern by the Imperial Glass Company has five different candy dish styles.
Two candy dishes were reproduced. The candy dish in the Princess pattern was reproduced in the colors of cobalt blue and amber, which were colors not originally produced. Although the Princess pattern was reproduced in the colors of pink and green, the reproduced color shades do not match the original color shades. In addition, the quality of the reproduction glass was much more rough and bubbly than the original glass. The candy dish in the Sharon pattern was also reproduced. There are three ways to discern a Sharon reproduction candy dish from an original. An original Sharon candy dish pedestal base is three and one-quarter inches across, while a reproduction base is only three inches across. Next, measure the circle of glass visible on the underside center of the lid. An original should measure two inches across, while a reproduction will measure one-half inch across. Finally, the quality of the reproduction glass is rough and poorly molded as compared to an original Sharon depression glass candy dish.

What would I call a 4 cup Baking Dish?
I would like to buy an oven safe deep bowl type dish (preferably with lids) that holds about 4 cups. I am wanting to fill them with chili and then top with cornbread mix and bake. Im just not having any luck finding what I want. So I guess my Q is," What are these vessels called and where can I buy some?"
It would be called a 1 quart Casserole Dish. If you are planning to use a quart of product I would use a larger container (6C) or and 8"x8" baking dish to allow for the expansion that will occur during cooking. Any of the major ___-Marts would have them cheap (w/lids) by themselves or in a set (my favorite store for generic cooking supplies is Target).

10 Products Every Non-Toxic Kitchen Needs by Hannah Masimore
Cooking meals at home, where you know the ingredients, may be your preferred method of building a healthy eating lifestyle, but eating healthy doesn't stop with the ingredients. It's more than just what you are eating--it's how you prepare and cook your food too! So take a look at the type of cookware, kitchenware, and food storage products you are using at home because hazardous chemicals may be leaching into your food depending on the type of kitchenware you have. Below is a list of 10 kitchenware products every non-toxic kitchen should have, but keep in mind that there are endless non-toxic kitchenware products to choose from depending on your lifestyle choices.
1. Bamboo Cutting Boards: A great alternative to plastic, bamboo is an eco-friendly, renewable resource that is antimicrobial by nature.
2. Cast Iron Pans: These pans are resistant to breakage, are known for having great heat retention, and can come pre-seasoned for flavorful cooking.
3. Bamboo Cooking Utensils: Be sure to get bamboo cooking utensils made with formaldehyde-free glue and with no dyes or stains to be certain you're choosing the best and safest alternatives for cooking.
4. Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls: Made of a material that is scratch-resistant and durable, stainless steel bowls last longer than plastic bowls, are usually dishwasher safe, and free from harmful chemicals like BPA.
5. Glass Baking Dishes: Unsafe products leach chemicals more quickly when exposed to extreme heat in the oven, so a material like glass is a safer choice since it is chemical free and oven-safe. Plus, glass dishes can be used for food storage and can be safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher!
6. Stainless Steel Bakeware: Bakeware made only of stainless steel is BPA free and PFOA free, making it a smart choice for a non-toxic kitchen.
7. 100% Organic Cotton Oven Mitts: 100% organic cotton is grown without the use of chemicals and biologically-based fertilizers, a much safer method of producing cotton for the environment. By using organic cotton textiles, you can still protect your hands from extreme heat with the added benefit of helping the environment.
8. Glass Dinner Plates: Using a Glass Plate at the dinner table--or even to heat up your food--will keep you safe from BPA and lead, found in some plastic and painted plates.
9. Glass Food Storage Containers: BPA free glass containers come in different shapes and sizes for easy storage of food in the fridge. Many glass containers are freezer, microwave, and oven safe. If the glass container has a plastic lid, verify that it is BPA free.
10. Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: The safest and most environmentally friendly way to clean your kitchen is to use natural cleaning products and reusable cloths, like SKOY, that are 100% biodegradable, chlorine-free, and natural.
