Mid-Century Weeping Gold Pedestal Base Figurine

A decorative ceramic object, likely a small vase or figurine pedestal, featuring a distinctive 'weeping gold' or 'lava gold' glaze finish. The item is constructed from white ceramic/porcelain, visible at the unglazed rectangular base which measures approximately 2.5 to 3 inches in width. The upper portion is heavily coated in a textured, iridescent metallic gold finish that creates an organic, bubbled, and dripping aesthetic characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative arts. The glaze shows a high reflective quality with notable relief. On the unglazed bottom, there is a circular ink stamp or maker's mark consisting of stylized text within a ring, though it is partially obscured and difficult to read. The condition shows significant signs of age and handled wear; notably, there is visible gold loss and chipping along the edges of the base where it meets the unglazed bottom, exposing the white ceramic body. Some brownish discoloration or residue is present on the underside, possibly remnants of an old adhesive label or inventory tag. Based on the glaze style and construction, this piece likely dates to the 1950s or 1960s, a period when manufacturers like McCoy or Kingwood Ceramics popularized this heavy gold-dripping technique.
