Huge fish handled pressed glass lump

Aren't people kind!! When an elderly friend recently died, I was given this piece of glass, because "You like glass".
You will already have guessed I'm less than chuffed with it, but as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I thought I'd share it in the hope that someone can ID it and that eventually someone may want it.
Art deco pressed glass with fish handles and measures 17" across.
Any thoughts at all?

It's a beautiful Brockwitz bowl!  I have one and I love it!   :D

As you say, Paul, beauty is in the eye of the beholder  :wink:  :lol:

pamela:
It is Brockwitz 1936 and it came in two shapes out of the same mould:

pink and amber and white as yours are known, but I would guess also uranium green and blue were made

I love them - it is highest skill of mould making. See also the squirrels, the lions and parrots of same manufacturer on www.pressglas-pavillon.de bowls and plates Brockwitz  :wink:

I absolutely agree with you, Pamela!   :D  

Sadly, the fish handled bowl is the only one I could afford.  The squirrels, lions and parrots, being rarer, are out of my price range!   :(

pamela:
Oh Leni, if it were just a question of price range  :shock:
It is so hard to find the other animals too! I dream of belonging  the parrots in pink one day... never came across - did you?
Sometimes I feel they definitely did not manufacture them in pink... :cry:
Who can tell whether we are looking for something that was not produced?
There is wonderful German sentence for that:

Ich suche die eierlegende Wollmilchsau.

I try to convert into English:
I am looking for the egg givíng, wool and milk producing pork  8)
