Description: This is a beautiful piece of Phoenix glass. Hand blown custard glass (mold) and then hand painted and fired. This is a light creamy white satin glass with aqua seagulls. The base and top are, I believe, a brushed brass and the detail around the edge is fantastic! This was made somewhere from 1936 to the early 1950s when Phoenix was making its line of sculpted "pillow" art glass. I believe this was post war but pre mid 1950s. The non-polar plug helps to date it and for safe use, I would rewire it. Depending on the age of the piece, it may have already been rewired in the 1950s. It was designed by Kenneth Haley (1905-1987), son of Ruben Haley (1872-1933) designer of Ruba Rombic. They were a father and son that had a huge impact on glass design in the United States with some of the most iconic designs known. It was innovative as the seams followed the design. This does have a hairline up through the back of the piece that doesn't appear to go all the way from bottom to top (maybe -). It's on the corded side and simply not really that noticeable. It is stable and the rest of the piece is sound. You'll find a couple small errant marks here and there that could possibly be scrubbed out as it looks like it just rubbed on something, please see photos. I've taken photos with flash and in average room light so you can get a true sense of the piece. This is large, heavy and without a doubt a statement piece!
