[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3987873, member: 8363"]This parting gift from the reseller evokes a time of lavish, fancy dining with a special piece for every purpose. I am hoping that the point in time and use can be discerned by my photos and description. The bowl is small at 3 3/4 inch high and 5 1/4 inches in diameter with the thick divider stopping well below the rim at 2 inches tall. It is thick, heavy crystal with a simple etched pattern of flowers and leaves. The only mark I could find was "Sterling" on the inside of the base. Is it for dipping? separating different spices? For ice on one side to keep something cool? What time period does it evoke. It is not overly ornate, but not simple either. Does anyone have any ideas?
