How Would You Describe This Piece? Famous Turtle Maybe Good For This One

[diggummup]

Or would you even try to sell it on Ebay? It's a centerpiece I guess. The glass just sits on top the metal frame with the colored balls. I can't find another one like it, don't know how to describe it. But it's different!

Cool piece! Keywords that come to mind for me are: MCM ( is the exact same as writhing out Mid Century Modern ) MODERNIST ,ABSTRACT ( don't know if that would even be the correct term ) COLORFUL ,BALL ,SPHERE ,DECORATIVE, FRUIT CENTERPIECE, FUNKY ,RETRO I also imagine it being in a children's room and I am a big fan of putting where the object could go in my titles so you could also say CHILDREN'S ROOM, BEDROOM DISPLAY. Obviously you only have 80 characters to work with and that is a HARD one to create a title for, no doubt. Looks like the balls are made out of lucite as well which is cool.

Now you know why I can't track down another example. There are too many keywords to describe it! lol

PS- Yes, the balls are lucite or acrylic.

Groovy Baby! Functional Art piece.

I have no clue what that would be for haha. Its on that fine line of art vs function. Looks like heavy glass.

I would nest some bananas on it.

While this one isn't an exact match, you can see where I'm coming from on thinking a magazine holder:
