An English Mahogany Dish Cat

An odd looking, but actually very useful dining accessory. This is made to elevate a bowl or charger above the table to allow more table space, just like the metal things you see in pizza joints with tiny tables today. It can also just be an attractive and interesting way to get a nice bowl up where it is easier to admire.
