Rare Amber Frosted Art Deco Boy Sitting on the Fish in a Amber Clear Float Bowl Depression Era 1920’s or 1930’s. This is a rare Amber frosted art deco Nude Boy sitting on the Fish Figurine with built in Flower Frog. The float bowl is a clear Amber and is unusual because it has a double rim on the top of the bowl. The glass stand is very dark Amber, that actually looks black from a distance but you can see through it when you hold it up to the light. The Nude Boy sitting on the Fish Figurine with built in Flower Frog is 7.25 inches or 18.5cm high. The built in flower frog is nearly 5.5 inches or 14cm in across. These were manufactured by Schweig Muller & Company in Germany. There are a couple of small chips on the inside of the bottom of the flower frog where it sits in the bowl, otherwise it is in very good condition for its age. The bowl is very attractive and unusual because it has a double recessed rim, or a round trough around the rim. The round bowl is very heavy and made of thick glass. It is 13 inches or 33cm in diameter and is 5.5 inches or 14cm high on the stand. There are no cracks, or repairs on the float bowl but it does have one small bruise in the bottom of the bowl that the Boy sits over when displayed. There are a couple of little chips on the side of the foot on the bottom of the bowl. Is in good condition overall, with a few air bubbles in the bowl. There is a “PATENT APPLIED FOR” inscription made in the bottom of the bowl. The last photo is from the Kevin and Margaret Conway A Visual Reference book has the same bowl in Amber. These are a very rare bowl, they do not come up very often. The dark Amber stand, which looks black is in very good condition with no chips, cracks or damage. It is 6 inches or 15cm in diameter on the bottom and 5.5 inches or 14cm in diameter on the top of the stand. It is 2.5 inches or 6.5cm high. You rarely see these float bowls in this condition anymore, they are a lovely float bowl. It is a good quality figurine, float bowl and stand and is very heavy when combined and on display. These were made in the Depression era 1920’s and 1930’s in between the Two World Wars and are nearly 100 years old. Have a look at all the photos to see the lovely colour and condition. I know what it is like to get broken items and feel bitterly disappointed when they are not wrapped properly. I will double box this lovely Amber Boy on the Fish Float Bowl to protect it, and make sure you get it in the same beautiful condition it is in now.
