Vintage Silver City Glass Rose Embossed Chop Plate

This item is a circular chop plate or large serving platter crafted from heavy, clear pressed glass, measuring approximately 12 to 14 inches in diameter. The plate features a highly decorative, relief-molded floral pattern consisting of several blooming roses along with curved stems, leaves, and buds. A distinguishing feature of this piece is the metallic rose-gold or copper-toned staining applied specifically to the centers of the embossed roses, creating a striking contrast against the clear glass. The edge of the platter is finished with a rhythmic scalloped or ruffled border, adding to its ornate aesthetic. This style of glasswork is characteristic of mid-20th-century American manufacturers such as Silver City Glass Company or Fenton, typically dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. The construction shows high-quality glass with a textured under-surface corresponding to the molded design. The condition appears to be excellent for its age, with the metallic flash/stain remaining vibrant and no visible chips, heavy surface scratches, or significant clouding of the glass. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the detailed veining in the leaves and the depth of the floral relief.
