This is an art deco large pretty amber float bowl with four large birds which sit in the edge of the bowl. It features an amber Girl riding a Turtle built into the flower frog. The girl is naked with long hair plats down her back. It is a good quality figurine and the float bowl is very heavy and was made in the Depression era 1920's and 1930's.
The bowl is large and heavy, it is... 14 inches or 35.5cm in diameter and it stands 3.5 inches or 9cm so it is fairly deep. The rim of the bowl has a zig zag pattern around it with four holes for the birds to sit it. The figurine fits nicely into the bowl. There are no chips, cracks or repairs on the bowl.
The four birds that sit in the bowl are the large size, 3.5 inches or 9cm long. The two flying birds are 4 inches or 10cm across their wingspan. The other two birds are not flying. You can face the birds in six different directions because the holes are hexagonal. Three of the birds have their beaks. The only damage is a few tiny flea bites in the birds. For their age they are in very good condition.
The bowl and the birds were made by the Brockwitz Glass Company in Germany.
The amber Girl riding the Turtle figurine was made by the Schweig Muller and Company in Germany. The figurine is 7 inches or 18cm high.

This float bowl is lovely and for it's age is in good condition. It looks beautiful when it's assembled and on display. Float Bowls like this are getting very scarce, you don't see them anymore. Have a look at all the photos to see the lovely colour and condition.
It's hard to get good photos of these bowls. If you zoom into the photos you will notice some dust because it has been sitting for a long time.
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 Girl on a Turtle Float Bowl to protect it, and make sure you get it in the same beautiful condition it is in now.
