VIKING GLASS amber EPIC ARCHING FOOT covered CANDY DISH three toes COMPOTE 7008

Description

Offered for sale is a bold AMBER covered compote or candy box with lid. It was made by Viking Glass, and is their item #7008, or EPIC ARCHING FOOT COVERED CANDY BOX. It was made by hand in the U.S.A.
Viking made beautiful art glass beginning in 1944, and continuing until 1999. The EPIC line, with its sleek shapes and bold colors was one of the most popular, and is highly treasured by art glass collectors today. EPIC glass was produced from 1956 to 1975, expanding from 14 different pieces at the beginning, to 50 or more by the early 1960s. The bold colors, swags, pulls and drapes the artisans used to produce the line were often imitated by other glass makers, but will forever be associated with the Epic Line.
The base stands 5 3/4 inches (14.6cm) tall to the rim, and measures 5 1/2 inches (14.0cm) in diameter. When the lid is on, the whole thing stands 9 inches (22.9cm) tall to the top of the finial. A fine example of Viking hand made glass, and a beautiful piece to add to your collection. A U.S. quarter is shown in the second picture, to give an accurate impression of the size at a glance.
It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches or repairs. There is no cloudiness in the glass. It DOES NOT have the original VIKING sticker on it.
