Circa: 1920s
Country of Origin: United States
Manufacturer: Tiffin - US Glass Company
This style of rolled edge comport was often called a whip cream bowl by the manufacturer, US Glass Company and produced at the Tiffin Factory R plant. It's larger than most whipped cream compotes though, at nearly 8" diameter at the rim by 4-3/4" high. The wheel-cut floral etch was probably done by Lotus, a Depression era glass decorator who bought blanks from most of the glass companies of the time. The design is virtually identical to their Marie decoration, except the example I found has a few additional leaves on the stem where this one has only six.
The comport is in crystal clear, excellent condition. There is one pinprick scratch or fleabite on the rim, and a tiny ping on the inside of the bowl which is basically a round, shallow scratch, not a chip or flake (possibly caused by a bubble at the surface of the glass). There are a few tiny, short scratches here and there which are common to glass of this age and aren't easily seen except under magnification.
