Dear Pamela,
My bowl or rahter my 10 year old son who is the the glass collector has exactly the same bowl but in amber. So do you think the informatin that i have been given is correct?
regards,
janine
Glen:
Janine - excuse me for answering again. Yes, the information you've been given is correct. The bowl was made by Brockwitz. The link to the thread I posted above will give you further information.
A series of deco bowls with these unusual figural handles was made in the 1930s - early 40s by Brockwitz. Fritz Scheiner is noted to have been the designer. Lions, squirrels, fish, birds are all portrayed. They are splendid items, and as I noted above, the lion handled bowl is seldom seen and very desirable. Your son has a keen eye and is a lucky young man.

Dear Glen,
Thanks for answering. the link is very useful and we've spotted several other pieces that he has also collected which is wonderful to know as we live in australia and collecting here in the places he can afford is rather difficult.
regards,
janine
Glen:
Janine, it's fascinating what wonderful pieces of pressed glass from Europe and the USA turn up in Australia (and of course, you also have the fabulous Crown Crystal glass). Some very scarce Sowerby, Inwald (Czech), Brockwitz and even Scandinavian pressed glass was exported to Australia. Plus you also were the recipients of some very rare (and valuable) pastel Carnival Glass. :lol: They're not easy to find - but they're "out there".
That Lion bowl is a beauty. A real treasure. Again, my congratulations.
Glen
janinedangelo:
Thanks again Glen. He'll be looking non stop now!
regards,
Janine
