[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 592798, member: 136"]My feeling is that this is even a bit newer than the 1970's - more likely late 1980's to mid-1990's. These bowls were ubiquitous at that time, being sold as "fish bowls", often with a (sometimes optional) wood stand. I don't know anyone who ever actually used one for fish, but they made lovely, colorful accent pieces, sometimes used as planters, sometimes just left empty to show off the neat decoration "inside". Personally, I've always liked them, but I don't believe they were particularly expensive when new, and I don't think they're considered terribly valuable today.[/QUOTE]
