Here’s another compote from Indiana Glass.  I’ve had it for awhile and use it when I put out my ‘fall’ colour scheme.  I have found that this is line, or pattern, #1007 and is described as ‘Tulip” or tulip-shaped.  The compote comes in quite a number of colours – iridescent, amber, blue, frosted blue – at least.  I keep green glass pieces in it – picks up the light (when I’ve washed the dust off).  As you can see by the foot, I’ve NOT done that for awhile.  That’s the trouble with the dark colours…..you can really see the dust.

L.E. Smith is a long-time American company (100+ plus) that, I gather, is well-known for its pressed glass.  I have seen this compote identified as their piece, but have not substantiated it through more than one source.  I have a number of compotes – with and without lids – in a variety of colours.  I use them for seashells, pine cones, whatever.  I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the exact piece in blue, but wouldn’t want to bet money on it.  Don’t know how old it is,  – 40s/’50s?  perhaps.  Nice if someone could tell me.  Not hard to find these pieces.  It is pretty for the fall colour displays.  I put fall leaves in this one around Thanksgiving.  I photographed the lid separately to show the lacy edging.
