[QUOTE="gauntlettgems, post: 1132206, member: 6421"]Hello all, I've never come across this duo before. Is there a name for what it is? I thought someone had just stuck the two pieces together until I saw the raised circle in the middle of the platter. The pattern is raised and I was thinking that it was acid etched but then that did not make sense because it is not dug out of the glass. I have a lot to learn and looking at other pics did not help here. It does look like acanthus but that did not help in my search.[ATTACH=full]211681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]211682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]211683[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]211684[/ATTACH] I was wondering if anyone recognizes the pattern, maker, era, anything. It has some gold loss but no other damage. The only thing I am sure of is that it is amethyst glass and likely older but probably not antique. Any help is very much appreciated.[/QUOTE]
