1870s Gillinder & Sons Lidded Compote Lions

Its large size, and combination of clear and frosted glass, make this a striking piece. With the lid in place, it measures 7.5 inches tall, and is 7 inches wide. There is a factory flaw under the rim of the top, and a few shallow dings under the bowl. They can be felt, but are difficult to see. I have included ENLARGED photos. This antique, lidded butter dish, candy dish, or compote was made by Gillinder and Sons, Philadelphia,PA, circa 1877. I apologize for the high shipping, but this weighs about 2 pounds, before careful packing.

I currently have several pieces of vintage advertising in my shop, including other tin, and am happy to combine shipping. To see them all, type the word, "advertising", or, "advertising tin", in the California Girls search box at the top of this page.
