    Here I have obtained this elegant glass candy/fruit bowl whit what I assume is a faux pewter base. I don't believe this to be an antique as there is a bead of silicone attaching the bass and the bowl. The glass has a prismatic, opalescent glow to it.

    the bowl measures 13" x 9" x 2" and total height is 4 1/2"

    Please help me identify the manufacturer.

    Thank you in advance!

    Agreed.
    Newer import.
    Decorative value only.

    I agree with your assessment that it is faux pewter. Appears to be applied paint or coating of some kind over resin(?). Is the base very heavy or lighter in weight for its size?

    The complete piece weighs just short of three pounds and the base is undetatchable.

    Art Deco, for lack of a better term. What would you call it?

    Agree with Marie
    There is no Art Deco here.

    It is new imported decorative pearl opalescent glass with damage to the metal finish.

    But, but the old lady on the Antiques Road Show had one just like it and the bald, fat guy with the magic wand said it was worth $50,000,000,000 dollars!
