<p>[QUOTE="Christina Holum, post: 9471290, member: 81168"]It does seem to flow as far as the tile to the metal/pewter/brass edging which made me think the tile is original and the grout (I don’t know anything about mosaic tile) between the semi opalescent tiles is yellowed as if it is old. I say this because it looks like there has been a repair where the pedestal meets the plate and that adhesive or grout isn’t the same color as the original. I did have that thought, that possibly the mosaic portion was an addition later but I can’t even find a clear glass cake plate with the brass edging on it to compare it to. And it is very heavy. I paid $8 for it so I won’t be upset it is recent and something someone thought up and crafted together, it just doesn’t seem to fit with that. Which led me here. There are no markings of any kind anywhere on the piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
