EAPG Spirea Band Squared Dot tall Covered Comport by Bryce

Big early American pressed glass covered comport by Bryce Higbee, circa 1885. In beautiful shape, no damage.  The only sign of wear is the solid ring of bottom-wear on the base where it has rubbed against the surface for about 130 years. This type of glass would 'purple' if left in direct UV light.  It takes on a green glow under blacklight.  'Purpling' is considered damage by most collectors.  This beauty has no hint of purple.  The glass is colorless and sparkling clean.  Unusual to find an item like this with the matching lid.  Large, measures 9½" tall and 8" at widest. Widest girth is 24". Weighs almost 3 lbs.  Will hold lots of goodies, and is large enough to hold a side-dish, fruit, etc.  There are 3 mold lines, slightly twisted on the stem.
