Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1930s:
Stylised bather with cropped hair: typical modelling of the late 1920s and 1930s.
Small paint flakes to the head: grey oxidised spelter metal beneath.
Soft rubbing on the edges: many years of handling on a desk.
Moulded water ripples: characteristic cast detail of period novelty deskware.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This original Art Deco pin dish dates from 1930 and takes the form of a rectangular basin in painted spelter. Modelled in a deep green enamel finish, the piece features a naked female bather seated on the edge with her legs extended into the shallow pool of water below. The sculptural figure wears a distinctive cloche hairstyle and leans back with her head raised, while the underside of the base is covered with a piece of leather to protect tabletops. The item measures 6 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 4.5 cm deep. Useful and compact, the trinket dish functions ideally on a bedside table to hold small daily items, or on an office desk where its heavy metal construction serves effectively as a paperweight.

FAQs

Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco pin dishes were small decorative trays designed to hold small items of jewellery, pins, or coins on a dressing table or desk.

These decorative dishes were frequently cast in speltera zinc alloyor bronze, cold-painted or patinated, and sometimes mounted on marble or onyx bases.

Authentic pieces from the 1930s typically display characteristic stylised, geometric, or figurative forms such as bathers, dancers, or animals, alongside seamless casting lines and natural age-related patina or paint wear.

Place the dish on a bedside table, dressing table, or entryway console as a functional accent piece for holding small personal items like rings and keys.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners that could strip or damage the original painted finish or patina.
