Vintage 1989 Rawcliffe Pewter Roses Jar Lid – Decorative Topper, Antique Gold

DESCRIPTION

This is a delicate 1989 Rawcliffe pewter jar topper—the kind of piece that transforms a simple glass bowl into something worth displaying. The piece features an ornate openwork design of blooming roses, leaves, and curling stems set within a decorative oval frame.

The antique gold finish shows honest patina that adds depth and character. Originally designed to crown a glass potpourri or trinket jar, it works equally well as a standalone collector piece or wall-hung décor.

  • Approximately 3 inches in diameter
  • Openwork rose and leaf motif in decorative oval frame

The right piece for you:

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
