This cranberry-colored, blown glass serving dish has a gauffered rim with a center mound of brass plates to hold the removable glass stems. From the center rise a row of three cranberry-colored conical vases with gauffered rims and clear glass stems. The central vase is higher that the others. There are two uncolored spiral patterned stems surrounding the vases, each with curled ends to support the conical cranberry-colored basket.
