Jazz bowl
about 1931
made by Viktor Schreckengost at Cowan Pottery Studio, Rocky River, Ohio
This bowl celebrates the energy of the Jazz Age -- the music, nightlife, and architecture of the 1920s. But the Roaring Twenties were years of contradictions, falling between the end of World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression. Issues such as ethnic and racial conflict, global politics, labor unrest, and Prohibition also helped define the modern age in that decade. |
