    Seems to be wrought - not cast if I'm using that term correctly. It's about 9" across.

    Meant to assume it's likely from Mexico.
    Perhaps the design is something of note though I doubt that.

    Agree.
    If found in Europe it's probably Spanish, if found in the US it's probably Mexican.

    I don't think it's OLD old, but it's been around a while.

    It's hard for me to call things old that are from around my childhood, but I'm 68 so it's relative. I think this is an older piece - 1940s or earlier, but a lot of stuff made in Mexico has been made the same way for a century or more so it's hard to tell. I'd be comfortable saying it's not Home Goods. Better quality than that.

    I used to go down to Teeny-Weeeny (Tijuana) ;) in the late 80's early 90's to a specific guy/place to buy stuff to resell in San Diego and Coronado.
    He had much steel whatever, and Mercury glass, and always had things such as this.
