I believe that my reply insinuated the piece was made at a barn or garage shop, and I apologize for that. I know that independent shops did not have the capability to make their own blanks and acquired them from many sources to cut the motifs or designs ordered by customers, or whatever the popular design was at the time. What I meant to say was the blank just did not fit with the style of Pairpoint, Sinclaire, Fry, Dorflinger, etc., unless of course it was a "one off" as you suggested, or even a special order. When I came across this Compote I was impressed with it's size and workmanship. Regardless, it is a beautiful piece that I will enjoy displaying along with my ABP cut glass collection. Again, I appreciate your time and effort in helping me. Thank you.
