Super heavy glass thingamabob, what is it?

[saintsantiques]

This is made of very thick, heavy glass, and the flower on the top is huge.  I'm torn between it being a candy dish or perhaps powder jar for a vanity?  Brass and glass. No idea how old. TIA!

I was trying to help the OP find this and couldn't, thanks, solved my mystery too! I found one BTW, here it what their write up on it said 🙂

Unusal Heisey Crystolite Candy Box w/Special Cover

Crystolite Candy Box with a Glass Flower Finale by Heisey. This is a fantastic candy box and is specifically mentioned in Bredehoft, on page 267, as a WW II special item with the metal lid.

Estimated value between $150-200. It displays a lovely glass flower on the lid. The glass is crystal clear with no cloudiness. It weighs 4 lbs 4 oz. Time period circa 1942 and is a must have for all Heisey collectors. It is in excellent condition with minor surface wear and some tarnishing to lid around the stem and has a small dent near stem of flower.

There are a couple of scuff marks and the flower on top is a little loose with slight movement as it is heavy. The flower is held on by a couple small screws.
