American Midcentury Classical Mermaid & Scallop Shell Centerpiece Bowl

About the Item

Perched on centrally mounted roiling wave is mermaid figure—long tressed and full bosomed with arm resting on scaly tail. A modern representation of the mythical creature suggestive of a come-hither Vargas pinup. Marks include unidentified maker’s stamp. Weight: 61 troy ounces.
