What the AI looks for in Candy Dishes
- Lid
- Choose a lidded dish if candy will sit out for more than an evening A lid keeps soft candy from drying out or getting sticky and keeps dust off.
- Material
- Lead crystal is hand-wash only; soda-lime glass usually tolerates the dishwasher Crystal clouds and can etch in the dishwasher.
- Base stability
- Prefer a wide foot or flat base over a tall narrow stem on a busy table Footed dishes tip easily when someone reaches in.
Brands that matter
- Lenox: Gift-oriented crystal and porcelain.
- Waterford: Premium cut crystal.
- Anchor Hocking: Inexpensive American glass jars.
- Godinger: Mid-range decorative crystal and glass.
