    Purchased recently and thought it would be easy to ID. Found one on eBay and the seller says it's EAPG Flint Glass in the Barred Oval pattern. Checked the EAPGS site and this doesn't look anything like Barred Oval. Also, checked my book, Pattern Glass Reproductions and didn't find it. It doesn't glow under UV, and I'm fairly certain it is not EAPG, doesn't ring like Flint glass, but something newer. It is pretty however.

    It measures about 7" in diameter and 10" tall. One thing I like about it. The base has a scalloped edge and the lid is made to fit the scallops. I show that in the last photo. Anyone ever see one like it before? TIA!

    Yes, that's it! At least according to the EAPG web site. My reproduction book links Banded Portland and Barred Oval so I have more reading to do. They said that Fenton repro'd Banded Portland but don't list a covered compote. Thanks so much, I've been looking for days!

    Edit: Fenton reproduced Barred Oval, not Banded Portland.

    I found out that Fenton reproduced Barred Oval, but not a compote and all pieces had their mark on them. Banded Portland and Barred Oval had their names mixed up way back when (likely in some older books) but the pattern is definitely Virginia aka Banded Portland. It's a great original piece so I'm adding it to my collection. I didn't think it was that old because it has no damage at all. And my black light showed no yellow/green. So I shined my black light flashlight on all my EAPG pieces and none of them reacted, but I know they did when I purchased them. I'm wondering with all the changes in lightbulbs whether my blacklight flashlight is something new because it doesn't make anything glow, even my old Heisey.

    I had a feeling it might be original, but don't know that much about glass to have put the suggestion forward. Congratulations on a nice addition to your collection!
