Idar-Oberstein, Germany Retailed by Asprey A very large, highly transparent boulder of rock crystal quartz would have been utilized to create this large decorative bowl. The art of bowl making is now one which has been virtually lost, due to the large degree of waste which is produced by carving away material and also due to the painstaking effort which it requires to achieve a uniform thinness of the sides to allow for the transmission of light. Signed EB for Emil Becker. Measuring 18 x 13 1/2 x 8 3/4 in (45.7 x 34.2 x 22.2cm)
