Rare Vintage Tiara Exclusives Black Onyx Honey Bee Covered Candy Dish

$58.00

This rare vintage Tiara Exclusives covered dish is a striking example of Indiana Glass artistry. Crafted in rich black onyx pressed glass, the design features intricate raised details of bees, florals, and woven textures surrounding a central beehive motif on each side. The domed lid is finished with a finial handle, while the footed base provides balance and a sense of refinement.

Produced during the late 20th century, this collectible glassware reflects Tiara’s tradition of offering exclusive designs, often sold through home parties. Indiana Glass manufactured these pieces in smaller production runs compared to mass-market designs, making them especially prized today. The honey beehive motif, paired with the dramatic black onyx glass, gives this piece strong appeal for collectors of both thematic and specialty glass.

Perfect as a candy dish, trinket holder, or display centerpiece, this piece combines functional use with decorative charm. Its survival in excellent condition makes it a valuable addition to any vintage glass collection.

Why It’s Special?
This dish is considered rare due to its limited production by Tiara Exclusives, its unusual bee-and-beehive motif, and its construction in black onyx glass—a color produced in far smaller quantities than standard clear or milk glass. Complete examples in excellent condition, with lid intact, are especially sought after by collectors.
