This item is a vintage metal jardinière (table centerpiece) or a decorative serving dish holder. It features an ornate, textured hammered finish on its circular rim, flanked by sculptural rose and floral-themed handles.
Key Characteristics
Material: Typically crafted from silver-plated brass, pewter, or hand-wrought hammered aluminum—styles highly popularized by vintage brands like Rodney Kent.
Design Era: The heavy botanical relief work and organic curves draw inspiration from Art Nouveau and later mid-century decorative tableware aesthetics.
Function: These metal frames are designed to hold either a fitted clear glass bowl liner for serving warm dishes/salads, or a mirrored base insert to showcase candles and floral centerpieces.
