(A) I like a challenge, but please!!! I mean, try photographing this and you'll see what I mean. Ok, I've tried again, and here are the results:

(This photo better shows the result of the light's being on; the creamy gold hue is in evidence.)

The bowl is hand-blown Steuben calcite, with an iridescent finish, so subtle it looks like a pearl. Alas, on top of that, when the light is on the glass transforms to a creamy gold color. Oh, I almost forgot about the classic acid-etched finish which you can barely see in these photos. All in all, it's worth a trip to the store, especially if you're considering buying this, which you should! It's of ample size, about 32 long and 17 across as shown (with freshly replated brushed nickel hardware from the same period, 1910 or so, and frankly hardware from that period gets no better).

Did you REALLY think something this beautiful would "hang around" (har-har)? SOLD!!!
