VINTAGE LUCITE & GILT CASTLECLIFF GOLDFISH BOWL NECKLACE 1950s
Up for auction is a terrific, unsigned piece made by CASTLECLIFF in the 1950s. The gold gilt chain drops down to a fabulous and quirky fish bowl complete with 5 small goldfish "swimming" in various sizes! The lucite bowl has a flat back, like half a fish bowl, so that it lies flat when worn and is topped with a gilt metal edge on the rim of the bowl.
