GUEST: This piece has been in the family for quite a number of years. And a couple of years ago, my parents needed to downsize from the big house, and, you know, there was just too much...
APPRAISER: Sure.
GUEST: ...to go into the smaller house.
APPRAISER: Exactly.
GUEST: And I've always had a passion for Art Deco, so this bowl just had my name all over it.
APPRAISER: What attracted me to this bowl was that this has a very Southwest design to it, even though it is high-style Deco. And it is a Daum Nancy piece, made in France, and it has the stippling effect here from the acid and this raised cameo relief. It is signed around the base. It's sort of a coupe shape-- like C-O-U-P-E, coupe shape. And Daum had three major periods of time. They had Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Postwar. And this is high-style Art Deco, and we feel that the bowl is in the... About the $2,000 range in a retail establishment. So it's a very nice bowl.
GUEST: Oh, my goodness.
APPRAISER: Very nice bowl.
GUEST: I guess I won't be serving potato chips in it anymore.
APPRAISER: No potato chips.
