This is a cake stand (or a fruit bowl) made from two materials. Description of the object: * The bowl: It is made of crystal, decorated with star patterns and concentric circles. * The base: It features a silver-plated metal foot in the Louis XV / Napoleon III style, richly adorned with acanthus leaf motifs and ribbon knots. * Particularity: It is an "eclectic" style object often made in the late 19th century or early 20th century. The mention "Deposited" under the cake stand provides an interesting detail about its origin: * It indicates that the design or shape of the object was registered with an industrial property organisation to prevent counterfeiting at the time of its creation. * Dating: This term was widely used in France from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. It is a mark of French industrial or semi-industrial manufacturing. The mention "Deposited" confirms that the object is not a recent copy.
