Description
Large decorative glass centerpiece bowl featuring a ruffled, flower-like silhouette. The bowl has a textured, ribbed exterior with a radial hand-painted design in earth tones, including metallic gold and deep chocolate brown on a frosted white base.
Key Features
Large scale makes for an excellent centerpiece; popular earth-tone color palette; unique organic 'ruffle' shape; textured sunburst feel.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-market decorative item; lacks rough pontil mark (typical of blown glass), suggesting it is molded or centrifuge glass. Confidence in it being an artisan piece: Low.
Flaws to Note
A heavy adhesive thrift store price tag is applied directly to the decorative surface; minor wear to the gilt/paint wash likely near the center points.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or local consignment. Shipping glass of this shape is risky and expensive, making local sales preferred.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Art Glass', 'Centerpiece Bowl', and 'Earth Tones'. Carefully remove the price sticker using heat or residue remover to avoid scratching the paint. Photograph against a dark background to make the gold pop.
