    First one is a candy dish it looks like a newer pieces but it has several straw mark an bubbles in the glass. The second the little dish what is it, usually I thought only banana bowls where shaped like this. TIA

    these 'plain' patterns can often be difficult to ID. The compote lid's finial is hard to see in the photo but looks to be Vici (AKA: Mirror) by Bryce, Higbee c1896. However, it appears to be a marriage with the compote base which looks to the 'Ionic' pattern by McKee Bros. c1894.

    hard to say exactly what the other dish may have been originally called; I've seen come catalogs call these celery trays. The pattern is U.S. Glass #15078 'Manhattan' c1902 with some forms reissued by Tiffin.

    Measurements may help with the Manhattan item. Many times these were just called a bowl with the measurements

    I thought about Higbee on the compote/ candy dish also but wasn't able to find anything like it.

    But here are some more pictures of the lid

    And here are more pics of the little guy, flatted back out it would be the size of a saucer 5 in in diameter. I tape the measuring tape to the sides so you can why it has me so puzzled. Never seen anything like this being so small.

    They probably meant to say "calling card receiver". But I don't know if that's what its intended use was. I always call them a nappy with turned up sides. I think they make a lovely piece on the table to hold folded napkins.

    EAPG was generally table service sets; so most likely not intended as a card receiver. Another catalog title for these small plates was cupped accompanied by the size; this looks to be the bread & butter size, which could be called a cupped or rolled edge bread and butter. Also nappy might be appropriate as well. Could be repurposed for a number of things these days.

    forgot to mention that Bartlet Collins also reproduced some of the Manhattan pieces. Tho' I think your looks to be USG.

    compotes/comports weren't called candy dishes; they were serving pieces. The clearer images of the finial seems to confirm Vici for the lid.

    The catalog I have from U. S. Glass Co. ca 1904/5 page 59, calls it a 5" Trinket Tray.
