The Pairpoint Glass Co. has been produced in the United States since 1837. Around 1910, they began to produce items with their signature controlled bubble or suspended bubble base.

This is an exquisite green glass comport that was produced by Pairpoint Glass circa 1930s. It has a wonderful teardrop stem with a beautifully polished pontil and stands approximately 7.00 inches tall, the top is 8.12 inches in diameter and the base is 4.50 inches in diameter. There is table wear to the base, along with a couple light scratches as shown in the pictures. On the bowl there is a pinpoint nick on the top edge along with a manufacturer's defect, which is both also shown in the pictures. There are also a few light small scratches and if you hold it up to a bright light, or in reflective lighting, on the underside of the bowl to us it looks like something got on the glass and you can feel a very slight difference in the glass. Being on the underside of the bowl, it can't be sickness. We tried to capture a picture, but the light needed for it to show was too bright and the defect got washed out. When we washed this glass up we couldn't believe the wonderful tone to the glass as we dried it.
