What Can I Use a Baccarat Candy Box For?
A Baccarat candy box is not just for sweets. Its crystal clarity and refined design make it perfect for holding jewelry, keys, or small keepsakes on a dresser or entryway table. You can also use it to serve nuts, dried fruits, or mints during a casual get-together.
For a more decorative approach, place a candy box on a coffee table with a few colorful macarons or truffles. The crystal catches the light and becomes a conversation starter. It also works well as a desk organizer for paper clips or a catch-all for loose change.
- Use a candy box as a jewelry dish on your nightstand.
- Fill it with potpourri or dried flowers for a subtle fragrance.
- Store small sewing supplies like pins and needles safely.

Are Baccarat Candy Boxes and Small Plates Dishwasher Safe?
Baccarat crystal and porcelain are delicate. To preserve their brilliance, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh detergents that can scratch the surface.
Always dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Handle pieces with care, especially those with gold accents, as gold can wear over time with rough handling. Following these steps keeps your pieces looking new for years.
