Subject:Can anyone tell me about this item and age?

This is a weird bowl that has metal on the outside, like it's covering something

Lead warning found items sold western department stores 1980s-later.

Metal probably originally shinier. Since not made for food use, has only decorative purpose.

Good luck,
Cal

That's a 1970's or later pewter-clad dish, which as indicated by the backstamp, was decorated in Hong Kong on a Japanese porcelain blank. Such lead warnings came into vogue in the 1970's, as the US and other countries became concerned enough to incorporate labeling requirements in their import regulations.

Best regards,

Bill H.
