Art Deco 1930's Vintage Opalescent Glass Clam Shell Bowl

  

A wonderful and rare (only one I have ever seen) art deco or earlier glass clam shell shaped bowl/dish, made in opaline/opalescent glass. Please note: the plastic stand is for display purposes only and is not included. Measures approx 3.25 inches tall by 9.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Good condition, just a few tiny nibbles and one tiny split to the rim, about 1cm long/deep, all shown in final pictures. All only visible on close inspection.

Also has a couple of manufacturing "straw marks", as you would expect of pressed glass from this era.
