Era / Decade
Late 2000s - 2010s (Modern production designed to look vintage)
Material
Pressed Glass or Resin with an applied metallic lacquer finish; decorative only (not food safe)
Condition
Fair to Good. There are visible chips in the green/teal lacquer finish near the center sticker and some wear along the raised bronze Filigree lines.

Description
Large decorative charger bowl featuring an intricate raised arabesque/scrollwork pattern in a metallic bronze finish over a pale teal or sage green distressed ground. Scalloped edges and substantial weight make it an ideal centerpiece for a console table or as part of a wall plate display. Approximately 12-14 inches in diameter.
Key Features
Tuscan/Mediterranean aesthetic which remains popular for traditional home staging; raised texture provides a high-end look from a distance; large scale for affordable decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-produced decor item. Lack of a maker's mark on the back and the use of 'cold paint' (surface paint rather than glazed ceramic) indicates a budget-friendly home decor origin. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant peeling/flaking of the green paint under the price tag and to the left of it; copper-toned finish is rubbing off on high points; likely not food safe due to metallic paint.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local flea market. The weight and fragility make it a 'bad ship' (high shipping cost vs low value), so local sales are best.
Selling Tips
Highlight its use as a 'Centerpiece' or 'Staging Prop.' Do not list as a serving dish unless you can confirm it is food grade. Clean the dust off with a dry microfiber cloth only—water may cause the paint to flake further. Price it low ($15) for a quick sale.
