Astrological Zodiac Display Bowl/Plate

This item is a shallow, round bowl or plate, approximately 12-16 inches in diameter, crafted from what appears to be ceramic or stone-like material, possibly marble or a composite. Its primary color is an off-white or very light beige, with visible darker greyish or brownish veins and crackling, suggesting an aged or distressed aesthetic, or intrinsic natural patterns if stone. The surface has a noticeable sheen, indicating a polished or glazed finish. The most prominent feature is a circular, intricate design centrally placed, executed in a dark brown or sepia tone. This design consists of multiple concentric rings. The outermost ring of the central design features a scalloped or wavy border. Inside this, there's a ring containing twelve distinct symbols, which are clearly recognizable as astrological zodiac signs (e.g., Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces). These symbols are enclosed within individual, decorative segments. Closer to the center, there is another ring with smaller, repeating geometric patterns, such as crosses or stars, within individual units. The very center of the design is a plain, smaller circular area. The bowl exhibits significant signs of use and wear, particularly a dark, granular residue or staining, possibly dirt or debris, accumulating in one section of the bowl's interior and scattered lightly over other areas. There are prominent crack lines visible on the surface, particularly emanating from the edge towards the center, which could be part of the material's natural patina, stress fractures, or intentional distressing. The overall craftsmanship appears standard for decorative or utilitarian ware, with the printed astrological design indicating a manufactured item rather than hand-painted. Given the style of the astrological symbols and the general aesthetic, it likely dates from the late 20th century or early 21st century.
