Not for the faint of heart, this is a true collectors piece. I am offering at auction not only for it's age or rarity but for it beauty alone. <p>It is absolutely exquisite. In remarkable condition, with no cracks, chips, repairs and only the slightest evidence of surface wear. There is 1 large straw mark in the base of the bowl which is inherent to glassmaking of that period. I have placed it next to one of my Waterford's (ask for additional pix) to show its brilliance and if one did not know it was pressed glass you would think it was cut crystal. <p>The company that made it was only in business from 1908 to 1912, and only made clear (flint) glass the first two years. Flint glass being the equivalent of Crystal of that period. The pattern name is DIAMONDS and was made by the Millersburg Glass Company, Millersburg, OH. It is a true open compote, and a very rare piece. There are plenty of Millersburg Carnival glass in different patterns and a even fewer in clear glass. But there is no reference in any records to a compote in "Diamonds" in crystal glass only to a water set, punch bowl and base. Making this a very rare and desirable piece indeed.<p>Please note: When photographing glass many of the reflections appear as surface marks. There is however surface scratches that become more predominant on close up photography under certain lighting. As with all Vintage pieces they are not new and light surface wear is to be expected. <p> I only ship to the continental USA, Verified ...
