Compote

Adams and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a clear glass compote dish by Adams and Company. The dish has a wide, shallow bowl with a scalloped edge. The bowl is decorated with rows of small, raised circular bumps. The stem of the dish is clear glass with a rounded square shape in the middle. The base of the dish is round and flat. The background of the image is gray, and the dish casts a shadow on the surface it is sitting on.
