Title: Art Deco Swan dish - is this Imperial USA?
Post by: Simba on July 04, 2013, 05:30:15 PM

Just bought this gorgeous art deco swan shaped dish (from Jacob's Antiques in Cardiff... anyone looking for art deco light shades must go here) does anyone have any idea of its maker. It's frosted glass and quite chunky it measures 22 cms long 10 cms wide and 10 cms high at the neck.  :)

This is just lovely, Angela. No-one seems to recognise it though?

Thanks Anne yes it is gorgeous, I did wonder if it was American, I can't find another one like it anywhere.

Just found a similar one on Ebay but mine doesn't have the raised dots in the base to rest the soap on

That does look like a match Angela. I'll add Imperial? to the topic subject to see if anyone can add more for you. :)
