Victorian Pressed Flint Glass Compote.
traditionaljazz:
Dear Glass Message Board, I have had this Victorian Pressed Flint Glass Compote for some time. Which seems to date from 1850 to 1860. It is similar to the American Boston and Sandwich compotes of the same period. Is it possable to see any of the designs of English Pressed Flint Glass Compotes of this period. I have done a search on the web for this item but had no luck. Did the American Glass Companys such as Boston and Sandwich imported thier glass products into England during this period. Regards TraditionalJazz.
Anne:
Can you post some photos of your compote and we'll see if we can identify it for you? We have a help with pictures topic here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html but if you get stuck you can either ask for help or email me copies of pics and I'll resize and add them for you.

Dear Anne, Thank you for your reply and instuctions. I am sorry that i can not use my camera at the moment. The glass compote is an open one quite small. With quite large diamond pattern. With at the top _--_--_this sort of end like a castle wall with in between round circles.I seem to remember that there was a english pressed glass goblet/rummer with what the pattern was called pineapple. Not the New England Pineapple pattern. The base is domed like the boston and sandwich versions. Regards Traditional Jazz.

Dear Everyone at the Glass Message Board, Thank you for viwing my posting. Here is some more details of this Flint Glass Compote. The top is open like a bucket shape with a castlelated top with circles at the top and with circles at the base which is domed and there is a stem. The rest has diamond pattern.

American Pressed Glass was certainly exported to Britain - one of the earliest Pressed Glass Commemoratives made to mark Victoria's Coronation was made in the US!
