<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4438403, member: 8363"]I have way too much glass, but the weight of this highly polished, very clear, glass plate spoke to me and said "take me home". I don't know how to describe the bottom of the plate, which extends about an half and inch below the plate's surface, so I called it low-footed - maybe someone can give me the right term. It is obviously hand cut, as the two flowers have different middles. There are scratches on the bottom that indicate to me it is not new. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is 10 inches in diameter and an astonishing 3 lbs 3 ounces in weight. Not a dinner plate, but something else. I'm not sure what. I don't know where it is from, what its purpose is or how old it is. Any answers, comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]380802[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380806[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380808[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
