Random - Need suggestions for ebay search parameters

[Wallflower]

GBCN friends, I need some ideas for ebay search parameters.
My brain is not approaching this correctly.

I have a table centerpiece from my mother. Originally purchased in Europe in the 60s, it is a ceramic circle with a channel and pieces that set into that channel. The original shipment had several broken pieces, so I've been trying to see what I can find that would work with it.


However, I just can't find anything similar on ebay, or any other search, so I think I need new ideas for how to search.

So far, I've been using things like "ceramic centerpiece" "posy" "ceramic posy"

Thanks!!!

Is there a maker mark stamped on the bottom of the center piece or any of the figurines?

I don’t know the answer to your actual question, but at my hallmark store they sell plain platters with little pieces that sit in them to decorate for holidays.

I bet you could buy some and if they don’t fit just perfectly you could wrap felt, or a cork, or air dry clay around the base so they can fit.

This is an example of what I’m talking about -

Unfortunately, not a readable one.

The Nora Fleming link works but idk why that other one doesn’t. Here is the same thing on Amazon.

Could you do a reverse google image search?

Centerpiece Ring Vase

I got a few hits that are similar to what you posted.

ETA: not perfect, but maybe can lead you down the right path

I believe it's called a "pansy ring."

ETA: if you search for "ceramic pansy ring" you get similar images.

Thanks for all the ideas, folks! I knew I just wasn't looking in the right way ... sometimes, I just need your extra brains.
