This tall cut glass compote dates to the American Brilliant Period (circa 1876–1917) and reflects the high level of craftsmanship associated with late 19th-century American cut glass production.
The piece features deep, sharply executed hand cutting that creates strong light refraction and visual brilliance. The bowl displays crisp cut elements rather than molded patterning, and the stem is also hand cut rather than pressed, consistent with American Brilliant Period construction. The overall form is elegant and well proportioned, intended for use as a centerpiece or serving compote.
The glass is clear and bright, with good weight and presence typical of American Brilliant Period tableware. No maker’s mark is present, which is common for cut glass of this era.
Condition:
Excellent antique condition. The sawtooth / scalloped rim is intact with no chips, nicks, or losses to the teeth. No cracks observed. Typical light base wear consistent with age.
Measurements:
Approximately 8 inches tall with a bowl diameter of 4 inches.
This is a genuine American Brilliant Period cut glass compote, suitable for collectors of antique American glass or for refined display or serving.
