Vintage Leaf Shaped Cream Colored Ceramic Trinket Dish with gold trim. Dated 1987. Measures about 8" by 8". Very good condition.
This vintage ceramic trinket dish is a sophisticated piece of late-1980s vanity decor, dated specifically to 1987. Measuring eight inches by eight inches, the dish is sculpted into the graceful form of a broad leaf, featuring a warm cream-colored glaze that radiates a soft, classic elegance. The piece is elevated by a hand-applied gold-gilt trim that follows the scalloped edges and traces the delicate skeletal veins of the leaf, adding a touch of Regency-inspired glamour to the organic silhouette.
The refined palette and botanical form make this an ideal "scholarly curiosity" for a desk or a dressing table. It functions beautifully as a catch-all for fountain pens, high-end jewelry, or archival desk supplies, fitting seamlessly into a Cottagecore or traditional academic interior. This dish is in very good condition, with the cream glaze remaining brilliant and the gold accents showing excellent preservation with minimal wear. As a dated piece from the late 20th century, it captures a moment when botanical motifs were reimagined with a luxurious, polished finish. It is a lovely find for collectors of vintage ceramics or those seeking to add a touch of gilded nature to their organizational rituals.
