All over the internet, it is called many things, including Strawberry Compote, Sandwich Glass and Tiara. The embossed strawberries that adorn the compote are done in red, it's a nice effect.
The compote is Tiara. c1980. "It is a fairly rare Tiara item. It was a hostess gift. The only way you could get this item was to host a Tiara home party". Quote unquote. Which seems to explain why I had such a hard time tracking it down.
Special thanks to TallCakes for the invaluable input. Much appreciated :-).
Thanks for stopping by.
very nice : ) this is a reproduction of "Strawberry & Cable" (aka: Falmouth Strawberry) by Northwood c1905
... these small compotes were usually called Jam or Jelly Compotes...
Thanks for the info Tallcakes. Good to know, I appreciate it.
Thank you Sklo42, antiquerose, Caperkid, Collectomaniac, Nutsabotas6 and Aura for the "Love it" clicks, I appreciate it.
you're very welcome. BTW Indiana Glass called this color 'Sunset' when they made this piece for Tiara in 1980.
How many times can I say "thank you Tallcakes"? As many as it takes. I was definitely in the fog about the color. Thanks so very much.
no problem and very nice photos!
Thank you Efesgirl and corndog for the "Love it" clicks. Danka.
Thank you Nutsabotas6 for the great compliment. 'preciate it.
Wonderful piece of glass, Deano! And our TallCakes is a real treasure. :)
Beautiful piece Deano! What I love, is the subtle shading of the strawberries which compliment rather than detract form that lovely shade of amber!
