The foot or bottom of the Compote measures 3 3/16" in diameter.

The Wave or Ribbon of Glass starts at the top lip and wraps around the vessel running horizontally at an angle all the way around and under the bottom. There are 16 rows of these Decorating the piece from the top to very bottom underside foot. The base glass is uranium and it glows under a black light however instead of the typical Vaseline hue, there is a subtle pink amethyst glow to the clear glass. When you handle the Glass it also has a Vaseline Glass feel to it. There are a few small air bubbles in the foot that gives this Vase that added Sparkle. This is a very exciting piece of Art Glass.

This Compote Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no chips, cracks, nicks or dings. The Vase wiggles when touched as the bottom is not perfectly flat and has that hand blown appearance. There are some concentrated surface scratches in one area on the bottom of the vase. These scratches do not show when properly displayed and do not take away from the value. The piece has a counter sunk Polished Pontil, the mark of quality piece of Art Glass. This was synonymous with their American Contemporaries Tiffany Favrile, Steuben Aurene and Quezal. This Compote Vase has a Scalloped Rim with fire polished rolled edge to give it that quality finished appearance.
