| As early glass goes, if any pieces of Early American Pattern Glass were to be thought of as 'fussy', it would be compotes. Actually we, a century later, call them compotes, but their first owners might have called them 'bowls' or 'comports' or 'sweetmeats' or 'footed bowls'. A definition we like is: bowls on a stand - high or low - covered or not, used for displaying or serving fruits, nuts, pastries, some vegetables or possibly even flower arrangements. At this time 100 to 150 years later, we can only imagine. Really, we don't know of any rules that Victorians sought to impose on themselves as to the uses of most of their glass. We just know that some of these beautiful pieces of glass took lids, some of them used to take lids and some of the lucky ones still have lids. In our Three Compote Stores, we display only 'high standard' compotes. We have put our 'low standard' or 'footed' compote in our three Bowl Stores, reached by clicking HERE. |
