Weeping Bright Gold Leaf-Shaped Dish

This vintage piece is a Weeping Bright Gold leaf-shaped ceramic dish, a popular style of American art pottery from the 1950s and 1960s. It is characterized by its heavily textured, "weeping" finish, which is achieved by hand-decorating the ceramic with genuine 22-karat gold. The piece shown features a cream-colored ceramic interior and a meticulously applied gold exterior that creates a luxurious, mid-century modern aesthetic.

The backstamp on the bottom confirms its authenticity, stating it is "Hand Decorated" and "Weeping Bright Gold" with "22 K. Gold U.S.A.". These versatile dishes were commonly used as candy bowls, trinket trays, or decorative accent pieces for vanities and tabletops. Due to the delicate nature of the gold glaze, these pieces require careful hand-washing only to preserve their finish.
