Contemporary Carnival Glass Compotes
These compotes were made from the 1960s on, though a few would have been reissues made from earlier molds.

Not included here are covered compotes (see Covered pieces).


Acanthus Leaf, Imperial - Imperial made Acanthus Leaf in several shapes. This pattern is different from Imperial's classic era Acanthus.

Christmas Compote, Fenton - Christmas Compotes were made from the original Dugan mold, first by Antique Publications and then by ICGA.

Double Dolphins, Fenton - The design dates to the original stretch era. Fenton then used the mold for it's contemporary Carnival and Stretch lines beginning in the 1970s.

Drape and Tie, Fenton - This squatty compote was made in amethyst by Fenton in 1977. It is rather similar to Millersburg's Rosalind compote. With the Fenton logo ground off, Drape and Tie could fool even a fairly experienced collector.

Fancy Flowers, Imperial - This compote is an exact replica of the classic era version also made by Imperial. Found in smoke and marigold. Furtunately, the new versions are marked with an "IG".

474, Imperial - This compote was made in the classic era by Imperial with an 8 sided base. Contemporary versions have a round base, a stippled bottom with an "IG" mark and a Peacock Tail interior pattern.

Grape Compote, Fenton - Fenton made this small compote in aqua opal. The Grape pattern is on the underside. The interior is plain.

Heart, Fenton - This unusual compote with the unique heart-shaped stem is Fenton's #9780. It first appears in "Fenton Glass, The 1980s Decade," in uniridized ruby glass (1989). The red iridized examples are listed in the 1990-91 Fenton catalogs.

Heavy Pineapple Compote, Fenton - Fenton also made a water set in this pattern.

Hobnail, Imperial - Note the similarity of the compotes to the bells. The compotes are much more scarce than the bells and only listed in amber.

Inverted Strawberry, Fenton - Fenton, made for Levay, a series of compotes made from the goblet mold. These were made in aqua opal.

Marquette, Fenton - The compote shown is about 7 inches tall and found in cobalt. Made using an old Mckee mold which they call their "Martec" pattern.
