Val St. Lambert Frosted Dog Covered Compote or Candy Dish c. 1897

Glass : Antique

 

Exciting and rare covered compote or candy dish from Val St. Lambert, circa 1897. This would be a wonderful addition to a Frosted Dog collection.

A watchful dog, most likely a Setter or Retriever, sits alertly atop the lid. He appears to be on a paved brick surface. The base of the piece continues with the brick pattern with the addition of vines and leaves. The bottom has three feet, which all have a dog head and two paws.

This piece measures 8 inches tall and is 6 inches wide.

For it's age, it is in remarkable condition. There are however, several flaws to note. There are very tiny chips on one of the feet, and in two places on the underside of the lid. Also, this must have been very difficult to produce with the various shapes and thickness of the glass. There are many cooling lines and heat checks throughout the piece. None of them have developed into cracks, but can be seen if you tilt the item in strong light.

I've provided as many photos as allowed here, but am happy to send additional photos or any view you might like.
