This is a small bowl that I recently inherited from an old friend. 3" x 2 3/4" Circa 1925 designed by Gundorph Albertus. That's all I've found so far from research. Does anybody know the name of the pattern? General value and is this called a compote? a goblet? or is small bowl ok? Thanks in advance.
I think it is a bowl, possibly a so-called 'sugar dish', meant for sugar lumps. Gundorph Albertus (1887-1970) won the gold medal at the World's Fair in 1925. His most famous design is 'Cactus', but this is different. Really pretty!
very beautiful!!!
You didn't give the dimensions but you probably have one of the cocktail goblets for a cocktail service designed by Albertus. Here is the entire service shown in an old Christie's auction:

You can see the design details of the finial on the shaker's lid here; click on the image to enlarge it:

Yes, the dimensions are there - but you're right; it must be a goblet!
;-) jensen, indeed they are on the first line and with that info, thanks for the confirmation.
