the footed fruit bowl

The most obvious companion piece to the footed centerpiece would be the footed fruit bowl. Also listed in the original Wexford catalog at $14.00.

An online search will yield current prices from $10.00 to $38.00 from auction sites.

Although the above web search yeilded a half dozen of this piece, I have found exactly one in my years of local thrifting. This is one of few items I have in the singular.

On to the details:

Dimensions:

Height: 6″ (to the top of the scallop

Width: 10″ (at the scalloped lip)

Foot width: 5.5″

Pattern Details:

Edge detail: scalloped edge

Scallop dimensions: .5″ H x 2.5″ W

Number of scallops: 12

Large diamond: varies from .5″ to .75″

Small diamond: .25″

Small diamond band width: 2.625″

Starburst diameter: 5.5″

Number of starburst rays: 32

Starburst location: inside bottom of foot

Fluting location: stem of foot

Number of flutes: 16

Versatility: While there is no lid or platter the fits the opening of the footed fruit bowl, it is the largest diameter piece that has a height more than an inch or two. This helps set a great landscape of a buffet.
