Voila! the 'epergne'. A centrepiece, often elaborately ornamented,
consisting of several dishes grouped vertically or radially about an upright
centre support, and used to hold pastry, fruit or the like.'

This definition comes from The Living Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary of the
English Language.
