    This piece was part of a lot that also had the brass filigree trinket box I have posted in the antique section.

    I found a similar bowl that was ID'd as Verlys but I couldn't find any marks on mine. :(

    I was hoping the whitish stuff on the green plastic? insert was a build of dust but unfortunately, it appears to be very dried out & the brass filigree around it has a bad case of the greenies. :arghh::facepalm: I haven't messed with it too much but I think I can get the green piece out, however, what would be good to get rid of the greenies?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do with the insert? If I can't make it look better I have some loose cameos I may try instead.

    The bowl is 4" across & 1 1/8" to the side edge. It is 2" to the top of the filigree with the insert.

    The bowl is high-quality glass with a raised design on the bottom. The bird's heads act like 3 little feet on the bottom. The surface has a slightly frosted appearance so it could very well be by a maker such as Verlys. If anyone recognizes the maker or the pattern that would be great. :happy:

    I'd give the whole thing a vinegar bath. That looks more like carved stone than plastic to me.

    Frosted makes sense.

    I thought so before it was in hand but the green insert has absolutely no coldness to it at all.

    @TallCakes - Thanks for finding those 3 WP listings. :happy:

    @Kronos - If you could take a moment to give the results of the 3 listings it would be very much appreciated. :happy::kiss:

    I will be able to sell a few of the items included in the lot to make back some if not most of what I paid for the lot. :smuggrin::smuggrin:
