Figurine Water Globe Appraisal

50th Anniversary Rose Water Globe

This item is a decorative water globe commemorating a 'Happy 50th Anniversary'. It features a clear, dome-shaped glass or acrylic top filled with a yellowish liquid, likely water, encasing a central white rose with gilded, possibly metallic, leaves and stem. The rose appears to be sculpted or molded, showing individual petals and a realistic form. The base of the globe is composed of a creamy or ivory-colored material, likely resin or ceramic, intricately sculpted with a continuous band of roses and leaves in relief around its circumference. A central banner-like element across the front of the base prominently displays the words 'HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY' in raised lettering, with '50th' highlighted within an oval or wreath motif. The lettering and some details on the rose sculpts on the base, as well as the immediate border between the globe and the base, are accented with a golden or bronze finish, suggesting either painted details or metallic components. The overall condition appears good, with no visible cracks or significant chips on the globe or the base. The liquid inside the globe shows some slight discoloration or haziness, which could be due to age or the nature of the liquid itself. This piece likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its style and the common production methods for such commemorative items. It is designed as a sentimental keepsake, celebrating a golden jubilee anniversary.
