1940 Depression Glass Console Bowl/Dish/Centerpiece/Vase Green Floral Etched-Glass cheapest Reverse-Painted Mirror Dome-Shape Rolled-Edge Large

This is an antique 1930'3-1940's, green, depression glass, rolled edge, mirrored, console bowl. It perhaps is made of uranium or vaseline glass, but I did not test it with black lighting. This floral, etched, dome, shaped bowl is quite unique in that it has been backed with a reverse-painted mirror. I do not know if the mirror effect was done at the time of manufacture or later. There is a black, painted surface on the curved/domed cheapest underside with mercury underneath I guess which has created the mirror look. The bottom center of the bowl was never painted and remains see-thru, green glass. Some of that special treatment has now worn away, but no matter as it gives the bowl a wonderful aged patina. This is a heavy console measuring 13 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in height. There are no chips or cracks in this shabby-chic, chippy-paint, very, unique, one-of-a-kind piece. This bowl would make an eye-catching centerpiece with flowers any time of year and especially at Christmas. How about filled with colorful eggs at Easter?
