Yard-Sale Waterford Find

The Yard Sale Gods have done it again: they've led me to a piece of Waterford crystal selling for a ridiculously low price at a neighborhood yard sale.

This has happened to me before, here and here and here.

This time, it is a lovely little footed dish just 5 inches high and 6 inches across. Technically this shape is a "compote." But that makes me think of the nasty dish of stewed prunes. So it's a footed dish. To me.

Anyway, isn't it sweet?

Here's the Waterford mark, etched on the underside of the foot:

This little beauty is probably going to live on my dresser, where it will showcase a few necklaces.

Until somebody buys me chocolates. It's perfect for holding a small pile of chocolates.

I'm just sayin'.
