Imperial Foliage Compote

A compote, 7.5 inches across and 4.25 tall, raised on a short foot and patterned with green and white foliage. The foot lifts it just enough to distinguish it from a bowl, which matters on a crowded counter where everything else sits flat. Shallow enough to hold fruit, or to sit empty where the interior pattern shows. Porcelain, handcrafted, so each piece varies slightly in size and colour. From the Imperial collection.
