EAPG Compote Early Brilliant Glass Co? Fans, Diamonds, Rosettes Lid, Plain Base
Measures approx. 12 1/4" tall with lid (8" without cover) x 8 1/4" rim x
4 7/8" base diameter.
The lid/cover features a raised band of art deco style fans along the
bottom edge (The fan pattern is embossed on the inside of the band,
though it is hard to tell from the photos.) The top of the cover has a
band of raised hobnails, on which a finial with a diamonds and
rosettes pattern rests.
The base is plain. (I am uncertain if the base is original to the cover,
though it is a perfect fit.)
The lid has a pattern which is very similar in appearance to
the MELROSE (OMN) pattern, introduced in 1888 by the Brilliant Glass
Company (LaGrange-OH/Greensburg-PA, Operated: 1880-1889).
I made an inquiry as to the pattern on the EAPG Society's facebook
page, and there was some speculation the it may be a hitherto
unknown pattern from the Brilliant Company, that was a forerunner to
the Melrose line.
VERY GOOD CONDITION ~ No nicks, chips, cracks, flea bites, or damage. Just a few scratches overall. There are some of the typical manufacturer lines/trawmarks, and flaws in the glass.
Should be a great addition to a collection!
If you have any questions please ask.
Thanks for Looking!
