Description
Offered in this estate auction is a rare opalescent blue glass compote in the highly sought-after “Peacock at the Fountain” pattern, featuring bold peacock and fountain motifs with a gracefully scalloped rim and pedestal base. The luminous opalescent blue coloration shifts beautifully in the light, highlighting the raised design and elegant form.
The Peacock at the Fountain pattern is widely collected and is commonly attributed to early American art glass production, most notably associated with Northwood Glass Company, though exact maker attribution is not guaranteed without markings. Regardless of attribution, this pattern remains a favorite among collectors of carnival glass, opalescent glass, and Victorian-era decorative tableware.
This compote is ideal for display, centerpiece use, or inclusion in a serious art glass collection, and its color, form, and pattern make it a standout example within the category.
