This footed carnival glass compote/candy bowl is lovely in both shape and color! Manufactured in the 1950s, it is ruby, gold, and purple iridescent with a marigold finish. It is in near mint condition.<p>

The compote/candy bowl is 6 1/2 inches wide and 2 3/4 inches high. It has three (3) feet on the base. The upper edge of the glass is ruffled.<p>
