Three small brass dishes with a continuous rose relief rim — a complete set, found at the flea market in St. Pölten. Ideal for sweets, jewelry, coins, or as a decorative accent.
Details
Each dish is round with a slightly recessed inner mirror and a raised rim. The continuous relief shows fully bloomed roses with leaves and stems — the embossing is clean and detailed. The brass has a warm golden tone with varying natural patina on the three pieces: one dish is brighter, one shows a soft aged surface, one has deeper oxidation spots in the inner mirror (visible in photos). All three are structurally sound — no dents, no cracks. The dishes can be polished or left with their patina.

Place of Discovery
Hand-picked at the flea market in St. Pölten, Lower Austria. Shipped from Austria, carefully packaged.
St. Pölten, on a Saturday, when the market stalls fill early. These three dishes came together from a wooden box — they were always a set. Three identical shapes, three different lives. One remained bright. One became soft. One took its time to darken. That's what brass does, left to itself: it remembers.
