This was before the Exhibition was called the Canadian National Exhibition or the CNE. The interior emblem is enamelled metal showing the Princess gates , which still stands today. CNE archive collecting is an amazing area of study. Though I've never seen an early candy dish like this, there are lots of other neat things to find such as ruby glasses with various descriptions, Indian bead items and the ever popular CNE Medals shaped like a tombstone. Measures 3 1/2 " across by 1 " high. Excellent condition but used in the past. RARE. Price: $42.00 CDN

Properly marked " LCT " only, which is typical on small glass wares, no number . A period original piece. Rich lustre. CONDITION NOTED , one part of the thread of side decoration glass has fallen away. This occurs now and again with any threaded decorative glass of this era. I am listing this piece anyways on site as it is still extremely beautiful and quite rare and still shows to the nines ! Without the damaged thread this piece would be $600 + class, however , the price has been reduced by about one third. consignor code ( 2450583 ) Price: $425.00 USD

Mint condition pieces are truly rare as a large majority were damaged during the war years. This bowl vase must have given inspiration to the American pottery houses such as Grueby & Teco. A masterpiece from the Art Nouveau era. Rare. Price: $759.00 CDN

A very sinister portrayal of the corrupt Priest or Bishop of Hereford in the somewhat truthful folklore of the tales of Robin Hood. A very rare wall plaque, well detailed. Circa 1880 - 1910. The mounting metal clip on the back is newer. The neatest thing about this piece is the fact that the bishop is missing a tooth ! Price: $179.00 USD
