Comments
The simple, clean-lined compote has a half-ovoid-shaped bowl mounted on a pedestal base that flares outward to the similarly oval shaped foot, marked by a dark brown stripe. Another stripe marks the top of the pedestal base, and large and small stripes run around the inside and outside of the rim. The compote is otherwise undecorated clear glaze on the warm creamware body.
