From various sources: "In the crystal and glass world, a compote is usually referred to as a serving dish that was made to serve the French culinary dish consisting of a mixture of fruits with sugar syrup combined with items like nuts, cinnamon sticks, cloves and other items of the sort. Compotes usually have a build that features a footed base with a stem that leads up to a bowl. What makes this serving dish so collectible is that many high end glass companies have made their variations of compotes in many, many different patterns. Companies like Fenton, Indiana Glass, Westmoreland Glass, Anchor Hocking, Smith Glass, Colony and many more have put their gorgeous spin on compotes. Although compotes aren’t used for their original purpose as much as they used to be, they still have a highly sought after design that can make the perfect accent to your table or home décor."
