Description

My great aunt obtained this ceramic bowl of fruit during her singing career through the 30s, 40s and 50s. We believe she obtained it in New York toward the end of her career. I believe the piece is ceramic, weighs 8 pounds and stands 20 inches. Hand printed under the glaize on the bottom is Made in Italy for Lord and Taylor 11/13. There are two manufacturing marks as well. (see attached photos)
