This wonderful, antique "Verre d'Or Ribbons and Overlapping Squares" cobalt blue glass compote was made by the Northwood Glass Company about 1906. 

Northwood introduced the Verre d'Or ("Glass of Gold") about one year prior to its hugely successful carnival glass.  Production of Verre d'Or was limited to about one or two years.

The stippled Ribbons and Overlapping Squares (8-pointed star) pattern is raised and painted in gold.  The edge of the octagonal base is also trimmed in stippled gold.

Condition.  This compote is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks or restorations. 
There is some gold paint loss as would be expected, mostly around the rim exterior, but all in all, the compote is really pretty and a very good find.

... would look great alongside any Northwood, Dugan, Jefferson,  Millersburg, Fenton, Westmoreland, Riihimaki, Sowerby, Brockwitz, Cambridge, Fostoria, Imperial, or other antique glass from the makers of fine opalescent, carnival glass, and EAPG.
