Compotes are all-purpose serving dishes popular in 19th century households. These usually footed bowls -- with or without lids or covers -- held special desserts, fruits, candies or sauces, jellies and other foods. Blown or pressed glass compotes provided a culinary presentation method suitable to 19th-century middle-class households.
This beautifully crafted reproduction of a Victorian-era compote was created by McDermott Glass Studio and measures approximately 6" tall by 10" wide.
