Porcelain Comport

I am a Porcelain Comport. I've been through the mud and back so I can stand up to anything. I will stand tall on your dining rom table or living room mantle like a  loyal soldier.

Curator's Notes 

This delicately curved porcelain bowl is an ideal pedestal for display. Versatile enough for multiple settings, its wide shallow top makes for a grand presentation of fruit or candy in any living room or dining room setting.
