A truly elegant and romantic piece for your home, this vintage pedestal bowl was imported by Arnart Creations of Japan. Numbered M4036, this beautiful compote dish embodies a classic, ornate style perfect for display or use.

The bowl features a stunning reticulated, or pierced, rim with delicate openwork details accented with genuine gold gilt. Its scalloped edge adds to the graceful silhouette. The center of the bowl is the main attraction, showcasing a colorful decal of a courting couple in the romantic Fragonard style, set against a soft yellow backdrop. The pedestal base is wonderfully shaped and also features coordinating gold accents, elevating the entire piece. Measuring approximately 5 inches tall and 8 inches wide, it is a substantial piece without being overwhelming.

Beyond its beauty, this piece is highly functional. Use it as a striking centerpiece on a dining table, a sophisticated fruit bowl on a kitchen island, or a candy dish on a coffee table. It would also be lovely on a bedroom vanity or dresser to hold jewelry, watches, or treasured keepsakes.

This item is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
