Vintage Moon & Stars Ruby Red Glass Candy Dish with Lid – L.E. Smith, c.1960s

A vibrant piece of mid-century pressed glass, this vintage Moon and Stars ruby red candy dish features a scalloped bowl and a beautifully domed lid with a rounded knob. The Moon & Stars pattern—beloved for its celestial charm and textured elegance—was popularized by L.E. Smith Glass in the 1960s, and this piece reflects the era’s flair for bold color and ornate design.
Crafted in translucent ruby red glass, the dish is unsigned but confidently attributed to L.E. Smith. It’s in very good vintage condition, with one tiny interior chip that may have originated from a surface bubble—barely visible and does not affect use or display.
