Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) \"Jumbo\" Covered Pedestal Compote LID ONLY For Sale

I am relisting this with the caveat that the lid does not match the pedestal, although in my opinion, this pedestal looks better than the original. Therefore I am listing this as lid only. However, the lid and bowl fit together perfectly. Message me if interested in both. Important Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) \"Jumbo\" Covered Pedestal Compote
Manufacturer: Attributed to Aetna Glass & Manufacturing Co. or Canton Glass Company
Date of Manufacture: Circa 1881–1885
Origin: Ohio, United States
Description:
An exceptional and highly sought-after Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) covered pedestal compote in the celebrated \"Jumbo\" pattern. This historical piece serves as a magnificent example of 19th-century American novelty glass, introduced to capitalize on the late-Victorian cultural fascination with P.T. Barnum’s famous circus elephant, Jumbo.
The clear glass bowl features an expansive, elegant silhouette supported by a multi-faceted pedestal stem and a flared, ribbed circular foot. The exterior of the bowl is intricately detailed with a fine band of vertical ribbing flanked by delicate beaded borders. Serving as the crowning glory of this specimen is its matching domed cover, surmounted by an exquisitely molded finial depicting a fully dimensional, frosted satin-glass elephant standing prominently in a lifelike stance. The mold work remains remarkably crisp, beautifully defining the texture and features of the iconic pachyderm.
Dimensions:
Height: Approx. 13 1/2 inches (to top of finial)
Diameter: Approx. 8 inches (at rim)Condition Report:
Excellent antique condition, commensurate with age and history. The glass retains superb clarity and a brilliant luster. The frosted elephant finial is pristine with no losses to the trunk or tail. The inner rim of the cover and the seating rim of the bowl show remarkably minimal wear, free from the significant flea bites or coarse chipping typical of this pattern. No structural cracks or signs of modern restoration detected. Under ultraviolet light (365nm), the glass exhibits the characteristic vibrant yellow-green fluorescence indicative of authentic 1880s manganese formulation.
Provenance:
From a private Midwestern collection of historic American pattern glass.
