Overview
A vintage tinned copper charger plate, 10 inches across, sold with a wooden plate stand. The wide, flared rim is covered in rows of punched wedge shapes that radiate around the plate, framed by fine incised lines at the outer edge. The flat center has simple incised concentric rings. Much of the original silvery tinning has worn away, leaving a two-tone surface of warm copper and gray tin that gives the rim strong texture. It makes a good display piece on a shelf, mantel or sideboard on its stand, or a wall accent alongside other world metalware.
Background
Tinned copper plates and trays were everyday household pieces across the Middle East and Central Asia, where the inside surfaces of copper vessels were coated in tin. This plate is unmarked and unsigned. It is made of solid copper with a raised foot ring on the underside and weighs about 1 lb 11 oz. The wooden stand is a separate display piece with an upright back support and a curved base.
Condition
Used vintage condition. There is a split in the copper, about 2 to 3 inches long, running along the ridge where the flat center meets the rim on one side; it is shown in the close-up photo. The tinning is worn and patchy throughout, with copper showing through, and the center has scratches and spotting. There is a small dent at the outer rim edge. The stand shows light finish wear. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The plate measures 10 inches across and weighs about 1 lb 11 oz. The stand is about 7.5 inches tall.
