Antique Pressed Glass BANDED STAR Compote Candy Dish W Lid 1890 King & Sons RARE

Antique Pressed Glass BANDED STAR Compote Candy Dish W Lid KING & SONS. 10.75" high, 7.25" across opening, 4.75 pedestal base.

AS RARE AS YOU CAN GET- HIGHLY Collectible. One of the most beautiful patterns this company made, catches light beautifully. Features a softly rounded quadrant form [like a 4 leaf clover] with a fancy 4 sided stem and base. Impressed stars in a ribbon-band, band has a scalloped edge and a stippled border which looks like Victorian lace. Pressed embossed shells at the rounded edges and on the lid's knob.

Classified as a large compote dish with lid, this piece is terrific as a fancy candy dish. Very good antique condition, does have a small squiggly straw mark on the inside of body and several small flake chips off of the top rim of lid from it fitting onto the base- very minor- small and rough.

One small chip on lid also. See last 3 pics & use zoom- superficial and do not cut across edge of rim. Base is without ANY flakes or chips, edges on this piece are VERY slightly rough around edge which is typical of the molding process for the time period.

This is GREAT piece for a collector. Will be packaged with xtra wrap and care to arrive in tip-top condition. As always, my items are packed with EXTRA bubble wrap and extreme care to insure a safe arrival.
