This is one of those pieces that reminds you how common milk glass once was in everyday homes. This is a Westmoreland milk glass compote base in the Old Quilt pattern. The raised quilted design with those little starburst centers is classic Westmoreland — sturdy, decorative, and meant to be used, not just tucked away in a cabinet. Originally, this compote would have had a fitted lid and been used as a candy dish or dresser piece. Over the years, lids were often separated or broken, which is why bases like this turn up on their own. Even without the lid, it still works beautifully as a small display piece — perfect for wrapped candies, jewelry, soaps, or simply as a bit of vintage milk glass charm on a shelf.
The glass is bright white and clean, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. It has a solid feel and that soft glow milk glass collectors love.
