VIntage Candy Dishes

portialoveschris · June 2010

Hi there, this is my first actual post on this board! YAY!

Do you know where I can get candy dishes for a candy buffet, that are different, but cohesive and not an arm and a leg?

Thanks!

I got some barrel-shaped glass jars at Big Lots for $6 each and they hold almost an entire Sam's Club sized bag of candy. I've also seen these at Kroger. They may not be as exciting as the various shaped apothecary jars, but to be honest, they didn't really use those in old fashioned candy shops. They usually used wooden barrels so these are the best of both worlds - the glass is pretty but the barrel shape is more authentic.
