This unique item is a decorative piece created by repurposing vintage-style objects. It features a beautiful purple glass 'Ideal' Ball mason jar that is threaded into a classic galvanized metal chick feeder base. The jar appears to be a replica or sun-colored vintage piece, while the feeder base is a traditional design used for dispensing feed to small poultry.
When assembled, this item can function decoratively as a candy dispenser, holding treats within the jar and allowing access through the small circular openings around the base. It is also suitable for its original function as a small animal or chick feeder/waterer, or simply as rustic, farmhouse-style home decor. The combination of the colored glass and industrial metal finish makes it a charming, versatile accent piece.
