A beautiful example of mid-century American glassmaking, this vintage Diamond Point covered compote from Indiana Glass blends elegance, sparkle, and timeless practicality. Pressed in clear glass with the company’s iconic diamond-faceted texture, the entire body is wrapped in geometric prisms that catch light from every angle. When placed near sunlight or a soft lamp, the surface glitters with crisp reflections, giving the piece the presence of cut crystal without the weight or formality. It is equal parts décor, utility, and vintage charm.
The pedestal base rises into a rounded bowl, while the lid features a dramatic finial—also cut in diamond texture—making it just as visually striking closed as it is open. Originally used for candies, nuts, fruits, or dessert presentation, collectors today style these as countertop accents, vanity jars, jewelry holders, key dishes, or centerpieces filled seasonally with potpourri or décor beads. Its clear glass composition allows it to blend with virtually any style: farmhouse, mid-century, modern, traditional, or vintage-curated interiors.
The Diamond Point pattern was first introduced by Indiana Glass in the 1960s, quickly becoming one of the company’s most recognized and collectible designs. With Indiana Glass now closed, surviving examples continue to appreciate, valued for their American craftsmanship and nostalgic sparkle. This compote remains generously sized, visually impressive, and endlessly versatile—a beautiful nod to a time when everyday household pieces were made to be decorative, durable, and proudly displayed.
