A shallow silver-plated bowl, 24 cm (9.4 in) across, resting on three small ball feet: it comes from WMF, the storied German metalware maker, and pairs a simple shape with festive shine. Filled with apples and clementines or left empty as a silver accent, it turns any table into a set table.
Shape and Material
The bowl is made of silver-plated metal, with some surfaces polished to a mirror finish. Underneath, three ball feet keep it steady. Founded in 1853, WMF still stands for solid table culture today. Its clean lines suit Hollywood Regency interiors as well as classic period homes.

Gmünd, the flea market by the border. The bowl lay upside down on a folding table, and only when turned over did it catch the light like a still pond. Three small spheres have carried it for decades, patient and never wavering. What holds us upright, if not the unremarkable things beneath us?
