Glass dish ID please
« on: August 03, 2014, 09:15:50 PM »
Hello!

Could you please help me identify this beautiful dish.

It looks like a pier painted on it? It measures 4" diameter and 1" from rim to base in height.

Thanks,

Rachael

Venice souvenir confirmed, and it is not recent. I believe the white enamel lace-like decoration dates from the 1930s, perhaps earlier.
