Material
Heavyweight textured glass with an underside metallic foil or hand-painted finish.
Condition
Good. There is visible wear on the metallic finish under the glass (seen as darkened spots) and a price sticker on the surface which may leave residue.
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. Individual chargers are harder to sell than complete sets of 4 or 8. Best for local buyers looking for single decor pieces.

Description
Large decorative art glass charger with a textured 'bubbled' surface. Features a stunning sunburst/ikal pattern in champagne, gold, and dark espresso/tortoise tones. The design is visible through the clear glass, creating a depth effect. Ideal as a centerpiece or under-plate for formal dining.
Key Features
Neutral metallic color palette fits modern and transitional decor; textured finish masks fingerprints; large scale makes it a versatile decor piece.
Authenticity Indicators
No maker's mark visible. High confidence it is a mass-produced 'Murano-style' item rather than a signed antique. The sticker placement suggests home-store retail origin.
Flaws to Note
Scuffing on the underside finish which causes 'black' spotting on the pattern; adhesive residue from the thrift store sticker; possible surface scratches from stacking.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local pickup to avoid high shipping costs for heavy/fragile glass; eBay if listed as part of a set.
Selling Tips
Photograph against a light background to show transparency. Use keywords like 'Champagne Gold,' 'Batik Glass,' and 'Centerpiece Bowl.' Not worth shipping individually due to weight-to-value ratio; bundle with other gold-toned decor if possible.
