Odd Art Glass in Metal Holder
« on: February 20, 2021, 04:37:00 AM »
Picked this up from the thrifts. It looks interesting and has gold or silver leaves embedded in the glass. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!  ;D :D ;) :)

Hello and welcome.  :)
What is it? I can't make it out.
Is it black? Is it clear? Is it a plate or a stand-up piece?
It appears to be decorated with dichroic glass - the sparkly multicoloured bits, and that is fairly recent, so I think I'm safe in saying it is not any antique.
Thanks for posting nice big images directly to the board, it is very much appreciated, but a very plain background would help us to help you.  :)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.

Hi. Yes, not antique...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IGYULY

If you search Cressida Glassware you will see quite a few similar. Don’t know anything about Cressida but quite possibly Chinese?
