Japanese-Style Chrysanthemum Slumped Glass Dish

This item is a rectangular decorative tray made of pressed or slumped glass, featuring a light cerulean blue translucent body. The central motif depicts a vibrant yellow chrysanthemum (Kiku) with a smaller bud, rendered in a style reminiscent of Meiji-era woodblock prints or cloisonné. The floral illustration includes multi-tonal green leaves with black line-work detailing leaf veins and dark red or ochre stems. The glass has a smooth, high-gloss finish with slightly upturned edges typical of kiln-formed slumped glass techniques. The reverse side appears to have a subtle matte finish which provides depth to the color when viewed from above. While no maker's marks are visible on the front, the quality suggests a late 20th-century decorative giftware origin, possibly influenced by Japanese botanical art. The condition appears to be very good with no visible chips or cracks, though light surface scuffs are present consistent with gentle use. The thickness of the glass indicates a sturdy build, and the application of the transfer decal or enamel work is crisp with well-defined color layering.
