Found this 5 inch x 5 inch Imperial Glass Candy dish at a yard sale.
I believe the color is amethyst iridescent. It is made by Imperial Glass
It is a turkey sitting over a nest ( note the feet).
There is a mark Capital " G "with superimposed over a stylized letter "I"
The marking indicate it was made 1940- 1951.
This piece is # 149 made in 1951.
It is my understanding that this piece is rare
Often hard to tell from photos but the color looks like maybe IG Purple Glaze; blue iridescence on amethyst glass.
