MOON & STAR pattern LARGE open COMPOTE clear glass L.E. Smith

Description

Offered for sale is a beautiful clear glass LARGE OPEN COMPOTE made by L. E. Smith.  It's in the MOON & STAR pattern.  With clear Moon & Star pattern glass there's often some question whether a piece is the original antique (originally named PALACE, and made in ~1888 by Adams Glass) or the more recent version by L.E. Smith or L.G. Wright.  In this case there's no question, as on the Adams pitcher the stem was hollow part of the way up.  On this piece, the stem is solid.
This compote stands 6 1/2 inches (16.5cm) tall, and measures
6 1/2 inches (16.5cm)
in diameter at the rim.  The base measures 3 3/4 inches (9.5cm) in diameter.  A U.S. quarter is shown in the third picture, to give an accurate impression of the size at a glance.  This is a high quality work in vintage American glass.
It is in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks, scratches or repairs.  There is no discoloration or cloudiness in the glass.  Watch for the other fine glass items I'm offering for auction or sale this week, including more MOON & STAR!
