Epergne
An epergne ( ih-PURN, ay-) is a type of table centerpiece that is usually made of silver but may be made of any metal, glass or porcelain. An epergne generally has a large central "bowl" or basket sitting on three to five feet. From this center "bowl" radiate branches supporting small baskets, dishes, or candleholders. There may be between two and seven branches. Epergnes were traditionally made from silver, however from around the start of the 20th century, glass was also employed.
