Oh no not another posting by Traditional Jazz ::), I have been browsing the webb as you do. Guest what there is a website which seems to be selling a large compote which states that this compote is cut glass. This compote is almost identical in pattern to these two compotes that i have. Instead the one on the website has a slightly different pattern bowl except that the stem and the foot is identical in pattern. This is getting quite curious? Regards Traditional Jazz. PS hopefully this is the link to this compote. http://www.theoxfordteaparty.com/item_1301/Beautiful-Victorian-Heavy-Cut-Glass-Comport.htm

Hi
I think the item in the link is cut glass, certainly the foot and faceted stem,
the pattern is more concise and sharp, your compote is pressed.
Sorry, i dont think they are very close.
Regards Andy

Dear Andy, Thank you for your reply and comment. If you look carefully at the base of this compote on the left hand side by the stem in The Oxford Tea Party. You will notice a line which seems to be a mold line which appears very strongly in the photo. These lines appear in the same place as the compotes that i have. Also the photo is not very clear as sometimes happens with images on websites. Another point is that i have a small compote which seems to have an identical bowl as this compote although the foot and stem are different somewhat like the one in the photo of the other compote posted by mhgcgolfclub. At some point i am going to post photos of the large compote that i have. Which has been mentioned here. Regards Traditional Jazz.

Dear Everyone at The Glass Message Board, Very shortly there will be photos of the large compote that i have mentioned in this posting before. Regards Traditional Jazz.

Hi all!  The comport above is mine, and thank your Trad Jazz for your contact.  I can now see that the glass is, in fact, pressed glass not cut - there are two mold lines on the stem.  I shall post photos and more info on it later.

(nice to "see" you all again!)
