This rescued, vintage, silver dish was Tiffany-ized.
Using Dixie Belle "The Gulf" Paint, paint tape, chip brush, and Dixie Belle Satin Clear Coat Sealer this dish was rescued from the bin.
It had little to recommend, besides the great handles and legs and the overall shape of the dish.
I taped off the legs and handles.

Did you notice the color? Did it remind you of any other recent projects in that color range? Yeah, that's right...it will be part of my office set---still to be complete. Stay tuned!!
Thank you for taking a gander.
Ciao for now,
