Vintage Industrial type Large Bowl... semi gloss ceramic black color ..... Signed on the bottom and the only thing that I can figure out is UL in the center and N.J see pictures ... maybe this bowl intent to be ceiling light fixture since it has the UL on it?.. it was used as a center bowl on a coffee table, there is a original mark on the base. (UL) known for standards in electrical products. The backstamp is impressed and the bowl is an original piece, making it a unique addition to your collection... Whether you're looking for a decorative display piece or conversation piece, this vintage industrial type bowl is sure to impress....Some scratches /scuff marks see close up pictures for its condition and minor nicks at the base rim... About 11.75" by 4.25" tall ... Overall pretty Unique Bowl ... Pictures are part of the description.... Before bidding, ask all the questions that are important to you and see the photos for all details and measurement .. Thank you.
