Terminology

Alan,

Please note that even though I am not an expert in glass terminology, there are a number of terms which need clarification. In all my years of appraising, I have not seen or heard the term covered vases. Logically, why would anyone cover a vase.

Covered compotes were for the mixed fruit and are usually squat on a standard.

Then there are covered footed bowls which may be a bit larger in circumference.

There there are such items as covered urns.

And the last term is used more often in Europe than in American and that is the pokal, also known as a covered goblet or covered cup. And that is the item pictured below. Helaine Fendelman

As one of her research interests, Gail Bardhan, retired librarian from the Rakow Research Library at CMoG, kept a list of American museums with Steuben glass in their collection. I have used her research to find examples of Steuben glass in the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art. Scott Hansen
