We love using footed bowls of all sizes in multiple rooms of a home, as they quite literally exalt whatever they hold. This all-pewter fruit compote bowl is modest in stature, making it the perfect vessel for displaying fruit or, lined with a crisp cloth napkin serving cheese straws, to displaying a collection of shells, to holding guest soaps in a powder room. Match pewter is handmade by artisans in Northern Italy. Each piece is made with a lead free alloy of tin, copper and antimony that is FDA approved and food safe. Unlike silver, pewter tarnishes very slowly and requires almost no maintenance.Should you choose to clean your pewter, hand wash in warm water with a liquid dish soap. Be sure to dry the pewter completely, as water allowed to dry on pewter may cause spots. Any spots that appear can be easily removed by polishing or by gently rubbing the area in small circular motions with very fine "0000" steel wool. 8.2" D x 4.2" H
