This authentic covered pedestal compote showcases the pattern's signature diamond-and-lens motif in one of Fostoria's most sought-after colors—olive green.

The substantial pressed glass construction, crisp geometric detailing, and faceted finial reflect the exceptional craftsmanship that made Fostoria one of America's premier glass manufacturers. Whether displayed with wrapped chocolates, seasonal décor, or simply admired as a sculptural accent, this elegant covered compote brings warmth, character, and vintage charm to any room.
