Antique Pewter Leaf Dish with Clear Jade Inlay - Soft Pewter Bowl - Ring Trinket Dish - Antique Chinese Lead Small Bowl
We found an estate sale with a trove of beautiful Asian metal bowls and cups. Most of them we're quite nice, but this one stood out. So, with a little clean up and research, we discovered that it's an antique Chinese dish, perhaps used for burning incense. It is either soft pewter or lead with an inlay on the handle of what we are told is clear jade, but may be quartz or some other stone.
It's a gorgeous piece, perfect for use as a ring dish or to hold a little pot pourri to freshen the room, maybe fill it with vintage marbles for a splash of color.
