AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant antique compote dish in ouraline glass (uranium glass), resting on a molded central foot.

This piece features a rich geometric decoration of starry / diamond-point type, typical of productions from the late 19th century.

The characteristic yellow-green hue reveals, under ultraviolet light, an intense green fluorescence, confirming the presence of uranium in the composition.

The base bears the molded mark « OULLINS », indicating production by the Oullins glassworks (France), active during the Belle Époque period.

The glass industry has been a driving force in Oullins since 1768.
The town was home to several crystal glassworks, which closed before World War II.

An emblematic decorative object of the table arts around 1900, this compote dish could be used for presenting fruit, confectionery, or as a centerpiece.
