Antique hand-blown cobalt blue glass pedestal compote dating to the late 19th century, circa 1880–1900. This elegant piece features a scalloped rim with hand-applied gold enamel floral decoration and a true snapped pontil scar on the base, indicating early hand production.
The glass is a rich, saturated cobalt with excellent clarity. The pedestal form and decorative gilding reflect Victorian-era parlor glass, originally used for serving sweets, fruit, or as a decorative centerpiece.
Condition:Very good antique condition. No cracks or chips observed. Light, age-appropriate wear to the gilt, consistent with use and age.
Dimensions:5 1/2" tall x 8" top diameter
A refined and authentic example of late Victorian decorative glass, well suited for display or collection.
