Arthur Salm Compote Bowl | MCM Nickel Plated Dish | Vintage Pedestal Candy Dish

This vintage pedestal compote was designed for Arthur Salm's iconic Silhouette line, attributed to designer Walter I. Bieger in the mid-1950s–60s. The flared bowl, slender stem, and circular foot create a sleek, space-age profile that works just as well as a candy dish, catchall, or small centerpiece as it once did on a bar cart.
