Aufsatzschale

English translation: pedestal bowl

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Aufsatzschale
English translation:pedestal bowl

German term or phrase: Aufsatzschale
Hopefully not such a stupid question this time:

again a title of a painting from an auction catalogue:

Stillleben mit Blumen, einer Aufsatzschale mit Gläsern und Likörflaschen, einem Eisbehälter, Porzellantassen, Blutwurst und Brotkorb auf einem roten Teppich

Elsewhere I have translated Tafelaufsatz as centrepiece so would prefer not to use that again. I understand this to be a decorative shallow bowl on a detachable stand/stem, but I am having another mental block about the EN term for this. Any help gratefully received.

Thanks to you all for the help; I am going to go with Georgina's answer because it most sounds as if the base/stand could be detachable - in the other cases the stand is integral. Without seeing the object I cannot be sure, but have made a note of all the answers for future ref.

agree  Lonnie Legg: China is outside my field, but the footed bowl at bloomingdales.weddingchannel.com/registry/catalog/Classic+11%22+Footed+Bowl/ID/807/PID/74288 resembles various Aufsatzschalen online...

Explanation:
Have a look in ebay - you'll see photos of both "Aufsatzschalen" (ebay.at) and "standing bowls" (ebay.co.uk)

Asker: I have seen those and think they are probably poor translations unfortunately. I am looking for the correct decorative art term.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Lonnie Legg: There seem to be various names for the same beast: "standing bowl" (http://www.vandaimages.com/results.asp?cat1=Bowls&X8=6-02)
