    In the olden days, grandma would put wrapped candy in that wonderful glass container. :)

    Gorham didn't make their crystal. They imported it from the European countries like Slovenia, Romania, Yugoslavia, etc.

    I would think your other piece is by the same group that made this for Gorham, because the knobs are identical.

    Adding: Gorham, Lenox, and other companies started bringing glassware into their product lines in the early 1990s. At least that's when I noticed it on the selling floor.

    That's correct @clutteredcloset49. the other item is from the same factory.
    In my search I also found that this firm was already active in 1969

    I also found a page where the above bonbonniere is offered for sale. Now we have a little price indication:)

    That's correct @@clutteredcloset49. this item above is from the same factory and is known as cut/etched and frosted daisy pattern by
    Gorham Cristal, and it is heavy 24% lead crystal.
    This information did I found at the link below:)

    The point I was trying to make is that Gorham did not make crystal.
    Gorham was a silverware company that made sterling and silverplate flatware as well as holloware. They did not make crystal.
    They had to have someone else make it so they could put their label on it.
    It is more than likely imported from a European glass company
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorham_Manufacturing_Company#:~:text=Gorham Silver was founded in Providence, Rhode Island,,made thimbles, combs, jewelry, and other small items.
