This sophisticated Art Deco Machine Age tureen was produced by the esteemed LB Company, circa 1935. It features an orbital body, circumscribed in its center with a protruding ring. The skyscraper style lid features multiple tiered embellishments, a cardinal red orbital pull; and a cut out to accommodate the ladle. The ladle offers an inverse domed bowl, and a sinuously curved cylindrical handle that culminates in a wood orb of the same red hue, offering a beautiful tonal counterpoint to the polished chrome of the body, lid and ladle. With its austere form and clean lines, this piece embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of Machine Age Art Deco adore. While it is a perfectly utilitarian item- perfect as a punch bowl or soup tureen- it is also a beautiful objet d'art. Excellent vintage condition. Signed "LB Chromium Plated."
