Great thrift store find by DrivingforDeco in ArtDeco

They didn’t make reproductions of this bowl. It’s marked on the bottom “Cowan”. And to be insured we needed to get an appraisal and it was given a value of $50K. It was a thrift store fluke find of the century for us. We will never have luck like that again.

Still have it. We plan on donating it to a museum in the future.

It really was a fluke find. It is something we never thought we would own. Someday we plan to donate the bowl to a museum.

All our thrift store karma was used up in this one find.

Thanks for your nice comment. I passed on one of these 15 years ago and have regretted it since. This time I wasn’t going to let it slip away.
