Can anyone help me please with this little comport? The dome on the foot seems quite unusual.
I can't seem to find the pattern in Hajdamach or Jenny Thompson, so I'm wondering if it might not be English?
I have also had a good look around Pamela's Pressglas Pavilion (http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/index2.html) and I can't place it with anything here either.
It stands 4.75 ins 120 mm tall, diameter at top 6.25ins 160 mm.
thanks for any help.

Blimey Lynne, is that photo without uv? thae colour is intense!

I know! That is just ordinary slightly dull daylight...
this pic has a bit of UV on it, but not particularly successful photo as it was a bit too light to bring out the green . I've just shone the torch on it again and it is LIVID emerald green.
You wait until I show you the perfume bottle... that really will make your eyes stand out on stalks.

I have had several sugar/creamer sets that were similar to this, and most roads point back to England for origination. I suspect the piece is quite heavy and would be considered flint/leaded glass. As far as the pattern name, I don't think it has been discovered. Not sure of the use, other than 'tazza' is an accurate description. In the US, it might be called a 'jelly'. Too shallow to be a sugar during the time period it was made (1850s). nice piece!
