Sometimes you see something online that just grabs you.  I no longer buy compotes as they take up too much space and I don’t really use them.  But this was online and the price was right and I was curious about it.

The Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum shows the patent for this piece,  dated February 14, 1911.  It was filed by Reuben Haley, an assignor for Westmoreland.  I don’t know what the production dates were, but this piece was likely produced very early twentieth century.

It is a heavy, statuesque piece that has a real shine to it.  I am showing lots of photos as I wanted to give a sense of its appearance.  The photos don’t really do it justice.

I bought this compote from a vendor in England.  I wonder how it went from Pennsylvania to the U.K.
