Circular Glass and Stone Mosaic Trivet/Plaque

This appears to be a handcrafted mosaic trivet or decorative plaque, circular in shape, with an estimated diameter of 8-10 inches based on typical trivet sizes. The primary materials are various types of glass mosaic pieces and small, clear and colored glass beads or marbles, all set into a dark, likely concrete, grout or plaster base. The overall color palette is dominated by purples, pinks, and iridescent whites, with a prominent central piece of what appears to be a large, polished rose quartz or similar pink translucent stone/glass. Physical characteristics include a flat, circular form with a slightly raised surface due to the embedded elements. The edges are finished with a copper-toned metal band, suggesting a prepared base or frame. The pieces of glass vary significantly in size, shape, and transparency; some are triangular, others irregular. Notable features include the large central pink element which exhibits slight translucency and internal striations, indicating either natural stone or a highly realistic glass imitation. Several small, clear, rounded glass beads are strategically placed, adding dimensionality and sparkle. One small red/orange bead is also visible. Some white glass pieces show faint, etched patterns or textures within them, adding subtle detail. Condition-wise, the visible grout appears dark and generally intact, though some very minor surface inconsistencies might be present upon closer inspection. The glass pieces seem well-adhered, and there are no immediately apparent cracks or significant chips in the glass. The copper-colored rim appears to be in good condition, with a uniform patina. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the top view. This piece exhibits qualities of folk art or contemporary craft, likely created in the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears competent, with a good overall arrangement of pieces, indicating a thoughtful design.
