Description: This beautiful L.E. Smith Amethyst Candy Compote is the perfect addition to any collection. The Candy dish is in good condition, from 1950's to 1960's. This dish is 3 1/2" tall. It has no lid or damage, only small straw marks from production. It displays beautifully, and is a RARE color and coveted by many collectors. The moon and star design was made by several makers, over several generations. Starting in the 1874 by the introduction of pressed glass. First production of Adams Company in 1874 was a pattern called "Palace" later to be known as the popular pattern Moon and Star. After several years and makers of the pattern, we arrive with the beloved collection we know today. Makers included L.G. Wright around 1930's to 1960's. L.E. Smith around 1940's made reproductions of the famous pattern, some even made in Italy. Through many years producing with many different companies, and companies changing ownership several times over the generations. Fenton and Diamond Glass Company and also Island Mould Company, just to name a few. Which brings us to modern day production of Moon and Star. Joseph Weisher owner of Island Mould Company produced many pieces we enjoy today. The Weisher family still owns and operates Island Mould, which produces miniature water sets and lots of the original compotes and staple pieces of collectors today. New and exciting pieces from the L.G. Wright moulds have the Weisher signature on them, and stand out with originality and exciting possibilities. eBay now has started to collect sales tax from some states. Buyers are responsible for checking eBay policy on sales tax. Any questions on sales tax would be to eBay. All of my pieces being sold are in "as is" vintage condition. Due to the age and rarity of the items I cannot combine shipping. I will list any imperfections and provide pictures of any issues with the glass. Please inspect the pictures carefully and ask me any questions you have about a piece. I would love to see the new generation enjoy the collection, and also collectors to find the one piece you have been looking for! Good luck hunting for that special piece, hopefully I can provide it for you! Thank you for looking.
