Vintage Glass Pedestal Dish - I

Found outside Lyon, this footed glass dish came from a dealer we have known for years, out of a collection his father spent decades building. It is a round dish in pressed clear glass, a shallow bowl edged with a fine sawtooth rim, raised on a shaped stem and a fluted foot. A dish like this is a compote, made to raise fruit or sweets up off the table where they could be seen and reached for. Sylvie fills it with plums and sets it on the table, the fruit heaped above the rim.
