[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9591467, member: 2844"]It is Chinese Provincial ware, probably made in Dehua, Fujian Province, on the southeast coast of China. A lot of Fujian ware was made for export to other parts of Asia. It is too shallow to be a compote dish, and as Greg explained, it wasn't used for compote. In the West we often use the Italian word 'tazza' for this type of elegant footed dish, also when it is Chinese. Footed dish is a more neutral term though.[/QUOTE]
