Medium Covered Compote in Log Cabin Pattern on Pedestal 1875 - 1896

This clear glass compote, designed by the Central Glass Company, is a charming example of 19th century American glassmaking. Created between 1875 and 1896, this piece is a stylized log cabin perched atop a tree trunk pedestal. The intricate details of the "log" construction and the roof shingles showcase the skillful craftsmanship of the Central Glass Company. Today, the compote is a cherished part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, offering a glimpse into the artistry and decorative trends of the late 19th century.
