Description: Offered for sale is a huge and HEAVY clear glass COVERED COMPOTE made by Adams Glass. It's in the PALACE pattern; the original name for the popular MOON & STAR design. With clear Palace pattern glass there's often some question whether a piece is the original antique (introduced in 1888 by Adams Glass) or the more recent Moon & Star pattern by L.E. Smith or L.G. Wright. In this case there's little question; I've no evidence that the more recent versions were ever made in this size/shape, and it was definitely made by Adams (catalog image picture 7). The low standard compote stands 9 1/4 inches (23.5cm) tall to the top of the finial knob when the lid is in place. The base stands 5 1/4 inches (13.3cm) tall to the rim, and measures 8 3/8 inches (21.3cm) in diameter at the rim. The base ring at the bottom measures 6 1/8 inches (15.6cm) in diameter. A U.S. quarter is shown in the first four pictures, to give an accurate impression of the size at a glance. This is a high quality work in vintage American glass. It is large and heavy, which accounts for the high shipping cost. THIS COMPOTE HAS DAMAGE. There is a large chip on the rim of the base (picture 5), and another on the rim of the lid (picture 6). Such damage might be expected in a glass serving piece that's probably over 130 years old, and if both chips are turned to the back, it still displays beautifully. There are a few smaller rim chips on the lid, but neither piece has cracks, scratches or repairs, and there is no discoloration or cloudiness in the glass.
