Abstract
A cooling tabletop display assembly for displaying fresh produce includes a receptacle and a cooling system. The receptacle includes a bottom portion and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the bottom portion to define an interior space for retaining fresh produce in the receptacle. The perimeter wall has an upper edge that defines an opening extending into the interior space. The cooling system is operatively connected to the receptacle to lower a temperature of an upper surface of the bottom portion of the receptacle and thereby cool fresh produce therein to inhibit ripening and decomposition.
