Just white porcelain and a single thread of gold around the rim. A low footed dish, a compote, it lifts a shallow plate on a small pedestal foot, the white glaze lined in gold at both the edge and the base. The footed dish was made to raise fruit or sweets a little above the table, a small ceremony that turns whatever it holds into the centerpiece. Sylvie piles it with plums or a few pieces of fruit on the counter, or sets it on a dresser to hold jewelry and small things.
