Large Clear Manganese Glass Covered Compote

Condition: There are several small chips on the base and one on the inner rim of the lid. The photos also show chipped or nicked edges. Offered as a damaged decorative/display piece only, not for food service or functional use.

This large clear glass covered compote has a broad round bowl, a ringed pedestal stem and a domed lid topped with a fluted finial. Rounded, radiating flutes decorate the lower bowl and the top of the cover, contrasting with the smooth clear sides. The listing includes the bowl and lid shown.

The glass is identified by the seller as manganese glass and is reported to glow green under a 365nm UV light. No UV photograph was supplied; the listing photos show the actual piece in normal light. This is not being represented as uranium glass, and the reported glow is not a laboratory confirmation of composition.

• Approximately 13 inches tall with the lid
• Approximately 9 inches across the bowl
• Item weight: 5 lb 8 oz, as shown on the supplied scale photo; packaging is not included in this weight
• Maker, named pattern and production date are unconfirmed

Please examine the base, lid rim and close-up photographs carefully before purchasing. The cracks and edge damage are significant condition considerations and are reflected in the price. Handle with care; no claim is made about the strength of the cracked glass. The clear form and fluted details may appeal to collectors seeking an affordable display example rather than an undamaged piece.

This pre-owned vintage item may show signs of age and use. Please review the photos and condition details carefully, as they are part of the description.
