| Many collectors attribute this compote to Millersburg; others think it's a variation of Fenton's Peacock Tail. Marie McGee, in her authoritative book on Millersburg, doesn't even mention it. The interior is almost identical to Peacock tail. The main difference is in the stems and the underneath of the bowl. This one has a smooth bowl as shown in the center photo. The Fenton, as shown to the right, has panels that begin on the base and continue up the stem and the bowl almost to the rim. Despite any confusion, Rosalind Variant compotes invariably still bring good prices. Found in amethyst and green. |
