Description
EAPG Glass Covered Comport in Spirea Band Squared Dot Pattern 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 black-light. ‘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 in great condition.
Large EAPG covered comport 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.
Made with a 3-part mold. Pattern called Spirea Band Squared Dot by Bryce Higbee.
