Bring a touch of Victorian elegance into your home with this stunning pair of antique ruby-stained EAPG sweetmeat jars, beautifully crafted by U.S. Glass Company between 1893–1905. These substantial pedestal compotes feature deep cherry ruby stain, sculpted clear pressed glass, and ornate lidded tops with architectural finials — a signature look of late 19th-century American glassmaking.

 

The square form, scalloped rim, and bold thumbprint paneling create a dramatic jewel-tone presentation. Whether used on a dining table, mantel, sideboard, or holiday display, these pieces deliver instant old-world charm and brilliant sparkle. Matching pairs in this size, weight, and condition are rarely found.

 

Perfect for the Eclectic Whimsy collector, maximalist decorator, or anyone who loves antique glass with a romantic presence.
