I bought this unique looking rather large footed dish yesterday from a thrift store. Picked it up because it was so unusual. I know nothing about where it came from or when it was made. Not really sure if I like it all that much yet but perhaps it will grow on me.
Have any of you seen a dish like this before with such a bright, almost neon, orange colored frosted/satin glass with gold trim? The stem is swirled and frosted white. The gold band is on the top of the dish and around the pedestal. It has a butterfly and some flowers painted on both sides. I can't tell if it is hand painted because the paintings look too identical to be done by hand.
It measures about 6 1/4" tall and is 7" in diameter. Would love some help identifying the manufacturer, era, whatever I can find out. Thanks.
Sorry for the sideways picture. Not the best at uploading.
Looking at the style of this I think it would likely be 1960s Japanese.
They were more likely to use orange glass than the Italians and often hand painted their glass.
Great piece.
Thanks for the tip racer4four.
