International Silver Sterling 'Wild Rose' Pedestal Compote

This is a pedestal compote or bonbon dish crafted in .925 sterling silver, specifically featuring the 'Wild Rose' floral pattern along the perimeter. The piece is characterized by a shallow, circular bowl with a broad, flat rim. The rim is decorated with a detailed repoussé and chased motif of blooming roses and foliage, a hallmark of mid-20th-century American silver design. The bowl is supported by a slender, baluster-form central stem that transitions into a weighted, stepped circular pedestal base. Physically, the sterling silver displays a high-luster finish typical of polished fine metal. Construction is multi-part, with the bowl joined securely to the pedestal. Based on the manufacturer's pattern history, this item likely dates between 1940 and 1960, produced by the International Silver Company. Condition-wise, the item shows minor surface scratches and faint oxidation (tarnish) in the recessed areas of the floral border, which is common for its age. There are no signs of heavy denting, major warping, or improper repairs visible. The craftsmanship shows high-quality die-striking and finishing, making it a desirable piece of mid-century hollowware.
