I enjoyed this video so much! So elegant and classy - and just plain relaxing! With modern society in the sad state it stands today, we so need to return to a time of civility and polished manners! We should embrace the finery. Thank you for sharing your lovely collection with us all. 🥰

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Would love to see compotes on bridal registries. Thanks for your lovely comment!

[@debbiefriedt7264]

I am binge watching Mary Beth, and certainly agree with you.

[@watthaile2053]

This was an extra nice episode. I love compotes, so versative. I use mine for small cakes, cookies, candies, etc. But my favorite use is to elevate a floral arrangement; they're so much prettier when elevated.

[@soflasub]

thank you for another enjoyable and educational video. You've opened my world to the existence and potential of compotes!

[@marybeth4002]

Your collection of compotes is stunning. I love the example you gave for gifting one with lemons and a recipe for lemon bars. That would make one feel very special. Thank you.

[@almabahena7210]

Once I started watching your channel last year I added a compote to a side table in my living room. I keep some chocolate in it. Thanks for inspiring me!

[@Gardenwitch1954]

The rabbit looks gorgeous in the centerpiece you created💙

[@ajacob509]

Love your compotes collections thx for share with us.

What a lovely boost to my day ....you are so charming to watch...thank you!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

You are so kind!

[@jojoply]

I love them all, but the milk glass is stunning with the blue and white. Oh course the Waterford. Great video.

[@vickynay9863]

I absolutely love your idea of using the compotes as the gift box for presents! It will remind the recipient of your friendship in the future as well!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Absolutely! Would be perfect filled with tea essentials. I use my Waterford Lismore compote on the tea table.

[@charlynewilliams5189]

Such a beautiful collection! They are all so beautiful & unique. I love the history you incorporate with your showings. Very smart lady!❤

[@denisehood958]

So pretty and beautiful collection. I enjoyed the viewing and so interesting. My mom loved compotes. Had several and used them so often for many purposes. She told me back in the day they were given for wedding gifts and she was given several. Thank you for showing. It was a joy. Take care.

[@cindywilliams4960]

How Beautiful Love them all. Great ideas. I have a few my Mom gave me. Time for me to get them out and show them off. You are so Sweet. Love watching you.

[@brooksiedoodle5087]

It was great to learn some new things - I'd never heard of a tazza or a comport dish. Just had a look on ebay and Waterford compotes are pretty affordable, think I may need to get one soon. Excellent video, thanks!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Grab it while you can. I am often surprised at how affordable compotes are.

Thanks for watching!

[@superannieoakley4513]

So glad u displayed those milk glass pieces, bc I have both of them & never thought to put them together! They really make a very pretty set. I have several compotes as well & I use mine for all sorts of things. They're perfect on my make-up desk for holding sm eye shadow pods. Also use them in the bathroom for bath bombs! They smell soo good 💖

[@LadyMaryBeth]

We also have bath bombs in a compote in our vanity. Glad you use these in a variety of ways.

Hi Mary Beth! Your wedding compote is my favourite. I've not seen one quite like it before. Your seashells and glass hearts looked lovely! Thank you for sharing your 'stuff' and knowledge.

[@LadyMaryBeth]

I appreciate you watching. Wedding gifts are special and remind of the gift-giver.

Hello Lady Mary Beth Thank you for sharing this wonderful video I really enjoyed your collection I hope you have a wonderful day God Bless you Josephine:)

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Thank you so much!

[@ruthkendall5486]

I have a beautiful majolica compote made in West Germany with a number22 on the back stamp. I’m going to try to send a picture from your web address. I think you will love it as it is soft blue with birds. I paid $25 several years ago at my favorite antique store in Newnan, Georgia. Thank you for this post , it’s highly informative.

[@chrissiewalker8980]

Love that rabbit! The Indiana glass compote would be perfect for presenting an almond and pear dessert. Would somewhat mimic the glass embellishments. Marvellous video as ever x

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Great idea! Really would be perfect for that dessert.

[@leonietaylor7054]

Thank you so very much Lady Marybeth. I have several beautifull compotes but didn't really know how to properly use them.I bought them cuz they were pretty and that was all.I surely thank you for this enlightening hour.You collection is outstanding.I really enjoyed.Cant wait to see another video.❤🙂

[@Jen39x]

Very much enjoyed - I knew about the fruit dish comport but being me never thought about that being associated with the dish. I also liked all the display ideas. I have loved glass & china since I was a little girl and feel sad there’s so few use the nicest pieces anymore.

[@deannab9511]

Great video and very informative, now I have some great new ideas how to use a compote! Thanks 😊

[@cindybehn9801]

Love seeing your compotes. Pretty! I’ve come to appreciate even mine that I didn’t know the information of them. Thank for telling all about this. Love them now!

[@karenryder6317]

Yes, seeing LMB's informative videos gives me hope that the look of these pieces will return to favor among the younger generation. One nit-pick--Why say you have been "gifted" with an item when there already is a perfectly good verb ("given") to use instead of twisting a noun into a verb?

[@lilacwaterfall6376]

So lovely Mary Beth. You just inspired me with what to do when I serve whip cream for my scones. Never thought of it. 😊

[@LadyMaryBeth]

So glad! ☺️

[@sharonwilliamson4592]

Thank you for the history and ideas that you gave us today. Very interesting. I have a feeling you like to say chinoiserie. 😉 It is a fun word and the patterns are very pretty too. 👍💕

[@prettylady995]

I very much enjoyed viewing your Compote collection! I also collect EAPG and American Brilliant Cut Glass Antique Compotes! I love them! I really enjoy having several of different sizes and shapes stand together or alone empty as I do enjoy admiring the patterns. Although I also love using them on the table with fruit or flowers or little desserts. They’re pretty on Buffet tables and Tea luncheons or Formal Teas. Now I will happily await viewing your presentation of Antique and Vintage Cake Platters that you mentioned sometime ago! Thanks for keeping it interesting !

[@florarhea1661]

Thanks Lady Mary Beth, I enjoy all of your videos. Love all of your compote's . I too collect many of the pieces you shared 🙂 Blessings for working so hard to present wonderful ideas and sharing your home. I think you are and awesome person !

Indeed they are Lady Mary Beth…thank you for reminding and show us your collection♥️

Hi Marybeth, compotes are something that I always use for placing desserts on. I’m in Florida now and always picking up shells and your compote with shells is a great idea.

You have a lovely collection of compotes, and I enjoyed the descriptions and history of the pieces! My favorites are always the Waterford, as that is what I have in the popular Lizmore pattern! Hugs, and thanks for the interesting vlog!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Glad you enjoyed it! The Waterford Lismore is my most enjoyed compote. It's always on the tea table with the wide bowl. The Innisfree is still my favorite.

Glad you are here! 🥰

[@andreaschnauzermom4740]

I love how you showed us how to use the compotes. Could you do this same type thing with other pretty vintage items? For example, I really like the vintage glass banana boat vaces but, I have no idea how I'd use it. I can imagine flatware rolled in a napkin and placed in it but thats about it. I like pretty AND useful items. Thank you for helping me elevate my everyday life. Sincerely, Andrea.

You and/or your collections should be featured in Victoria and Southern Lady magazines if you have not done so.. if so, which ones? I have most of the subscriptions from last year but I like to give them away for others to enjoy. Yours would be a perfect feature!

Maybe one day! Would absolutely love to feature my collections in Southern Lady or Tea Time magazines. Victoria is wonderful, too.
