While cleaning out my in-laws cellar,we stumbled upon a glass cannister-type object.Its purplish/blueish in color,approx.5 inches tall,not counting the lid.It has leaves and grapes on the side of it,which go all around it.The lid has leaves and grapes also with the very top of it it looks like a grape bunch.There are no numbers or letters on it,so I dont know what company made it.Can anyone help?

It sounds like it might be a piece of carnival glass in one of the grape patterns. A typical search in ebay might be "carnival glass grape" to compare your pattern.

From the size it might be a sugar bowl or candy dish. Most libraries (and big bookstores) would have a number of books on the subjects of carnival glass, antique pressed glass, and depression glass--you piece might fit in any of these categories.

Befor you get too excited look for a seam running down the center of it.
If it has one... newer
If not.... find some dealers in old glass STAT!

I am a little far from your in-laws to help clean out their cellar.
You should be more specific on what you need help with. lol
