“Cupids Hunt” Pattern Compote, Crystallography, made in 1879, EAPG - $46 (Columbia)
QR Code Link to This Post
The compote has detailed scenes all around the bowl: Wingless cupid figures hunting deer with a dog, fishing in a boat, blowing a horn, and dragging a net full of fish. On either side of this Victorian compote is a down-turned horseshoe with the head of cupid inside.
The compote features a decorative production technique called "crystallography," or “Crystalloid,” a rather obscure process of using acid to etch a pattern into a mold rather than carving a pattern into a mold. The result was a highly detailed raised image on the final glass piece. Glass pressed from this mold has a granular surface with clear, intaglio figures forming the design. This process was short-lived.
Measurements are 5 ½” (H), and 6” (bowl diameter at rim).
Price is $46.00. firm.
