This is a compact, tactile piece of Modernist Primitive Metalwork. While it carries the visual weight of a larger basin, its smaller scale makes it an ideal "jewelry sanctuary" for a vanity or bedside table.
Defined by its heavy, wide rim and hand-wrought radial ribbing, this dish offers a grounded, organic feel. The deep aged patina provides a moody, matte backdrop that makes gold or silver jewelry pop. It is small enough to sit atop a stack of books on a coffee table or tucked onto a crowded mantel as a "soulful" textural accent.
The Details:
• Era: Mid-20th Century.
• Style: Traditional / Provincial / Rustic.
• Texture: Satin-finished metal with vertical ribbing and forged scrollwork.
• Material: Pewter-tone Metal (likely a reinforced alloy for the handles).
• Shape: Oval bowl with flared ends and integrated scroll handles.
Dimensions: 12.5 x 19.5 cm
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The handles are secure and symmetrical. Light surface oxidation consistent with age, which provides a lovely authentic "found" look.
