This is for a wonderful black and red lacquered serving tray measuring 13 inches across. It has beautiful flowers and grasses and stylized lines and diamonds shapes with gold gilding. It is in very good used condition. Just a small amount of wear to the gilding. No chips and no cracks. It feels light like maybe paper mache or some light wood. But it is unmarked so I don't know for sure. It is an auction piece so I don't now the age or origin, but it looks Asian in design.

This is a really pretty metal plaque that looks like bronze, however I don't know for sure. It has what looks like a Victorian pub or peasant scene. The people look like they are listening to some one tell a story, the many smoking a pipe and sitting on a crate with ducks inside. There is a clock on the wall and what looks like a German or Bavarian hat. It has some damage to the edge, a nail hole and bends on the corners and a tear at the top edge like it was removed from a piece of furniture...

This is a lovely 9.25 inch plate with Mary the mother of Jesus, the sacred heart, and an easter lily. This is of the catholic religion.

It is unmarked, but looks old judging from the style.

Other than that no crazing and just a small amount of wear to the gilding. Not much. This is a very ornate piece. I do no know the age, it is an auction piece...
