Covered compote 1850 - 1870

"Covered Compote" is a 19th-century glass bowl and lid, created by Bakewell, Pears and Company. This clear glass compote is decorated with a repeating pattern of raised circles and is designed to be used as a decorative tabletop piece for serving fruit or other desserts. It is a fine example of the high quality and craftsmanship of Victorian-era glassmaking. The compote currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
