Compote 1870 - 1890

"Compote" is a clear glass bowl on a pedestal base made by Adams and Company sometime between 1870 and 1890. The bowl has a unique design of raised, round "bubbles" on its surface, which give the compote a textured appearance. The compote, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of American glassmaking during the 19th century, showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity of the Adams and Company.
