Brockwitz - Platter - Glass - serpent's bowl

Brockwitz Serpent Bowl – Art Deco pressed glass – Germany ca. 1936–1941
Elegant and rare Art Deco serpent bowl from the German glass factory Brockwitz Glasfabrik, executed in clear pressed glass. This sculptural centerpiece is an iconic design from the late 1930s and is known under pattern number 9076a.
The bowl is characterized by its dynamic fan- and sunburst motifs, combined with the striking stylized serpent handles on both sides — a typical example of the expressive German Art Deco styling of that period. The design is often attributed to Friedrich Scheiner, a designer who created several decorative Brockwitz pieces.
The piece has a strong architectural presence and works beautifully as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or decorative object in both Art Deco and modern interiors.
