Vintage MCM 11.75" Olive Green Glass‎ Lidded Compote (Empoli?)

This covered compote represents American pressed glass production from the mid-20th century, when colored glass pieces became popular decorative items for homes. The yellow-green or vaseline-toned glass was achieved through uranium content or other mineral additives, creating the distinctive glow. These elegant serving pieces were commonly used for candy, nuts, or as purely decorative centerpieces. Covered compotes appeal to vintage glassware collectors, particularly those interested in Depression-era and mid-century American glass. The pedestal design and lidded form make these pieces both functional and decorative, valued for their craftsmanship and nostalgic charm. Collectors of colored glass and elegant glassware from manufacturers like Paden City, Duncan Miller, or Pairpoint actively seek these pieces for display and collection purposes.
