This rather unique dish is from the 1960s or 1970s. I've been told that there was a crafting fad like this at that time, but that also such decoration may have been done by giftware companies. The applied decoration, sort of a "faux ormolu" is done on a Jeannette Acorn pattern covered candy dish. (You cannot really see the glass pattern with the decoration on it, though.) The decoration is an all-over design of coiled wire -- or faux wire, with 4 random colored plastic daisies worked in among the wire, on each side of the lid and on each side of the base. (So there are 32 plastic daisies in total.)

Some of the daisies appear to have had some metallic colored paint on them, which is mostly rubbed off. I am not sure what material the faux wire is made of -- it's very hard. A magnet will not stick to it. It appears to have been applied to the glass after the plastic daisies were glued in place; and looks like it was very malleable and easily manipulated at the time it was applied. ~ If you have any experience with this type of decoration, and can tell me more about it, please send me a message. ~

There is no damage to the glass box. There are a few places where a small piece of faux wire has come off on the corners of the lid, and possibly, next to one of the flowers on the base. There is so much curly faux wire that the missing spots are not really noticeable.

The dish is 5 3/4 inches wide, including the decoration, and 6 3/4 inches tall. It weighs 2 pounds 15.8 ounces (so basically 3 pounds) before packing for shipping.

This will be shipped by either UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage rate (except for International). Local delivery is always available for free to a mutually agreed upon meeting place. This cannot be shipped by UPS to a post office box. Please contact me before purchase, if you need to have it shipped to a PO Box.

I am happy to answer your questions about this piece.
