Hat Compote. 15 1/8” tall x 10¼” top diameter x 6” base
diameter x 4” bowl depth. Weight: 7½ pounds. Signed: J. Hoare A 32
point hobstar is cut on the base. A long tear drop in the stem
disappears into the geometric cutting. A chain of 12 point hobstars
alternating with cross hatching is cut around the lower part of the bowl
and step cutting under the rim which is cut in a chain of hobstars. An
unusual feature to this piece are the two J. Hoare signatures.
