The pedestal may be attached in one piece with the plate, or the plate and pedestal may form separate pieces. A common example is an elevated cake stand or shallow bowl for fruit, or in other serving vessels in Western and Asian ceramics and metalware. Another example is a ceramic funerary object in Pre-Columbian art. ]]></note></mads>
