1990s Campbell Soup Square Glass Tray Designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal
By Rosenthal, Andy Warhol
Located in Aci Castello, IT
The glass tray designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal is a decorative tray that features Warhol's iconic Campbell Soup can designs. This tray was created in the 1990s by Rosenthal, a German porcelain and glassware manufacturer, as part of a limited edition series of home decor items featuring Warhol's artwork. It's in perfect condition, probably never used, and signed by Andy Warhol on the front and labeled by Rosenthal on the bottom. The tray is made of clear glass and has a square shape with rounded corners, making it a compact but eye-catching piece of decor. The tray's surface features a continuous, colorful reproduction of one of Warhol's Campbell Soup can designs, which were first created in the 1960s as part of his exploration of consumer culture and advertising. The tray's design is simple but bold, and its use of vibrant colors and familiar imagery make it a great conversation starter and a fun addition to any room. As a limited edition item designed by a well-known artist, the tray may have some collectible value among fans of Warhol's work or collectors of vintage glassware...

A Large German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 17th Century
Located in ARMADALE, VIC
A Large German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 17th Century These dishes were originally used as everyday flatware by the wealthy during the Medieval period, serving for food or for holding water for hand-washing. They also served as a display of wealth and status. When they went out of fashion in the later 17th century, many were donated to churches and used as collection plates, which is how they acquired the name "alms dishes". Purpose: While historically used for collecting donations for the poor and charitable purposes, they were also commonly used as offertory plates in churches for collecting offerings during services. Historical Use: In medieval times, these brass dishes served as everyday flatware for the wealthy, used for food or holding jugs for hand-washing. They also served as displays of wealth and status. Transition to Alms Dishes: When they fell out of fashion as domestic items in the later 17th century, many were donated to churches and used as collection plates, leading to the name "alms dishes".
