    I was wondering what sort of a bowl this is? A cake stand or a decorative bowl?

    It's said to be Victorian, but is it early or late Victorian? What decade?

    Isn't it pretty?

    Hi,
    Not a cake stand, they are flat this one is curved.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The auction calls it a comport. That is an older name for a compote, I believe. And it might be in current use in Great Britain??? Not sure but the seller appears to be there.

    To me it does not look deep enough for a compote.

    That's a comport. Used for grapes and such. Might be Davenport.
