A beautiful survivor from the turn of the 20th century, this antique clear glass compote was produced by Bryce, Higbee & Company in their ornate Fine Cut and Fan pattern, introduced circa 1901.
The design is anything but ordinary. Elaborate fan motifs, textured oval details and sweeping geometric cuts cover the bowl, stem and foot, while the deeply shaped, wavy rim gives the piece an almost sculptural appearance.
And then the lights go out. 💚
Under UV/blacklight, the otherwise clear glass produces a striking green fluorescence. The reaction appears consistent with manganese-bearing antique glass, which was commonly used in clear glass production of this period. UV-reactive photos are included so you can see the glow for yourself.
🍒 DETAILS

📏 DIMENSIONS
Height: 7 in
Widest point across bowl: 7.25 in
Foot diameter: 3.5 in

💚 UV REACTION
This piece fluoresces a vivid yellow-green under blacklight/UV lighting.
Because UV fluorescence can vary depending on wavelength, strength of the light source and surrounding conditions, the glow may appear somewhat different in person. The clear glass and green fluorescence appear consistent with manganese-containing antique glass rather than colored uranium glass.
✨ CONDITION
Good antique condition for a glass piece dating to the early 1900s.
No major cracks or significant chips are apparent in the photographs. As with antique pressed glass of this age, there may be minor surface wear, tiny bubbles, mold irregularities, roughness or other manufacturing characteristics consistent with early glass production.
Please review all photographs closely, particularly the sculpted rim and foot, as the photos form an important part of the condition description.
A remarkable piece for an EAPG collection, antique glass display, UV-reactive glass collection or simply as a striking pedestal bowl with more than a century of history behind it.
🍒 Carefully packed for shipping with extra protection appropriate for antique glass.
