Original Presentation Script
This appears to be a mid-20th century decorative pressed-glass charger or plate, likely from Bohemia/Czechoslovakia or a related Central European glass tradition. The molded fish center, frosted foliate border, and strong green fluorescence suggest uranium/opalescent glass, which is collectible but not a high-value antique category. I do not see a maker’s mark, so attribution remains uncertain. Conservative auction value would be about $75 to $180 if period, or roughly $40 to $90 if a later decorative reproduction.

Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
Likely a mid-20th century decorative glass plate/charger in Bohemian or Central European taste, with a molded fish center and radiating foliate border. The strong fluorescence and crisp molded decoration support a later collectible glass piece, not an 18th/19th century antique.
