My aunt gave me a white, rabbit-shaped glass candy dish, marked with the letters I and G. Do I have a sweet treat?

Glass molds are expensive to manufacture. When a company fails, an existing company will purchase the molds and reuse them, occasionally adding their mark and/or retooling the design. The mold for your dish, likely made between 1955 and 1970, was acquired by the Imperial Glass Corporation, which added its I and G mark. In collectors books, your dish, made of whats called milk glass, is valued between $100 and $150. However, on eBay, the same dish, in pristine condition, goes for $50 to $65. Unfortunately, there is a hairline crack near the hares back leg, which reduces its worth. Estimated value: $10 to $15.
