I don;t know much about this large tray/platter/wall decor plate. It is either from Turkey or India. It is definitely Copper, but I don't know if it is Tin over Copper, or another metal. VERY HEAVY. Approx. 17.25" wide. Scalloped or Pie Crust Edge. Attached hanger on the back for hanging on a wall. These were popular as trays on tripod legs in the late 1950's, 19...60s or 70s, like side tables. Defintely Vintage, but maybe not Antique. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AND READ "CONDITION" BELOW BEFORE PURCHASE. CONDITION:**PLEASE NOTE: the photos make the tray appear more Shiny and more contrasting than it actually is- I think the light bounced back and highlighted the colors and this gives it a brighter appearance than in actuality. It could be polished or waxed to achieve this, I suppose. It is actually more dull and lighter in color (except for the Copper) Has age darkening or patina, may need cleaning, or can be left as-is- some prefer the patina. . Some spots of discoloration on the Copper ring trim, but any uneveness in the design is due to the handmade nature of this item.Great details on the metal work, this would have taken some time to do the details on the birds and leaves. May not be antique, but is definitely vintage. ** The precise color of the items may vary depending on the specific monitor, the settings and the lighting conditions.The item's color as depicted in this listing should only be used as a guide, as your monitor may show the colors differently.. Vintage items are not perfect.
