A neoclassical style? white metal compote bowl of oval, fluted form. The vessel features a heavily ribbed interior and exterior design, with two openwork scrolling handles attached at the rim. The bowl is supported by a tapered, fluted pedestal stem terminating in a substantial stepped square base. The piece is constructed from cast white metal with a textured, matte finish, exhibiting characteristic pitting and graininess consistent with the casting process. The surface shows a slightly distressed effect with darker toning within the recessed fluting to enhance the decorative form.
