Known as the "New Yorker" or "Jazz Bowl," this large and colorful punch bowl, glazed in a rich Egyptian blue, is considered an icon of American Art Deco design. Decorated with streetlights, skyscrapers, cocktails, drunken revelers and musical instruments, including a bass drum head emblazoned with the word "JAZZ," this vibrant vessel tells the story of a night out on the town. This particular Jazz Bowl is an early example, as the body is fashioned in a perfect parabolic curve. Because the walls of the parabolic bowl sometimes became misshapen in the kiln, later examples were made with a flared rim for additional stability.
