Large Vintage 16 HEISEY Recessed Panel Glass General Store Counter Candy Jar

  
This is a Heisey glass candy jar, #465 in the "recessed panel" pattern. It is approximately 16 tall to the top of the finial. From what I have read, this is probably circa 1920's - 30's. The smaller jars were made for home use, but the large jars like this one were for commercial use in candy stores, soda fountains, and general stores. Because of the amount of use they got, not many of these larger jars survived. Both the lid and the container have the Heisey "diamond H" mark. This one has a chip to the finial and scratches and wear consistent with age/use. But it still displays very nicely and will look wonderful filled with colorful candy or vintage marbles!
