Absolutely stunning vintage Viking Glass Yesteryear covered candy dish / pedestal compote, featuring brilliant ruby red glass transitioning into a warm golden amber base.This impressive piece features Viking’s wonderfully ornate molded pattern, a dramatic hand-finished ruffled/crimped rim, pedestal foot, and matching domed lid topped with a large glass finial. The combination of deep ruby red and glowing amber gives the piece incredible depth and makes it especially striking when displayed in natural light.Even better for collectors, the glass reacts under UV light, producing a beautiful glow. The UV reaction is an especially fun feature for collectors of vintage fluorescent glass.Viking Glass produced its Yesteryear designs during the mid-20th century, with Yesteryear Bull’s Eye pieces documented around the late 1960s to early 1970s.
