A compote is a serving bowl that is large enough to hold several servings of a dessert made from a fruit mixture cooked in syrup. These dishes have a high stem and some, as in the case of this one, have a lid. Another name commonly found for “compote” is “comport”.

The amber colony covered compote measures 8″ tall, is 6″ at widest, and weighs 2 lbs.
