Overshot Compote that is exquisitely done. Normally, a piece like this would be mold blown, but this is all hand blown with a polished pontil. The crimped frilled top is all accentuated with gold trimming. Some of the gold is worn off. After all, this piece is from the 1870's. The short neck from the bottom of the bowl to the top of the footing is stretched, pulled by the glass maker. The stretch marks are clearly visible. The glass itself has a fabulous ring to it because of the high lead content in this glass. The top is 9 1/4 inches across and it is 5 inches high and is 4 3/4 inches across at the bottom. Except for the slight wearing of the gold, the glass is perfect.
