This is the coolest: an authentic piece of American art glass history: an original 1930s Art Deco \"Diving Girl\" (often referred to by collectors as the Mermaid pattern) Banana Boat Console Bowl, manufactured by the Phoenix Glass Company. This sleek, art deco elongated bowl features a highly stylized, relief-molded female diver swimming through the ocean, framed by bubble trails and sea flora. You can almost hear the cultured chatter of a dinner party, and see flowers in this bowl gracing the room.The production technique showcases a satin slate-blue finish layered over an inner white milk glass core—creating a high-contrast cameo effect that accentuates the Art Deco sculpting. What makes this specific piece a true museum-quality centerpiece for collectors is the presence of its original, authentic black-and-gold shield foil label featuring the iconic Phoenix spread-wing eagle over a rising sun. Most of these delicate labels washed off decades ago, making this an exceptionally rare find.Measurements:
