Elevate your collection with this exceptional Art Deco lidded bowl by renowned American metalworker Carl Sorensen. Crafted in the 1920s-1930s, this piece showcases Sorensen’s signature aesthetic: a striking, mottled verdigris patina on the exterior contrasted by a brilliant, polished bronze interior.

The lid is crowned with a beautifully cast, stylized leaf finial, serving as both a functional handle and a sculptural focal point. The clean, flared lines of the bowl are accented by subtle concentric ring detailing near the rim, epitomizing the transition from the Arts & Crafts movement into the sleekness of the Art Deco era. The underside is clearly stamped with the artist’s script signature and the "CS" hallmark.

About the Artist: Carl Sorensen was a premier metalworker based in Philadelphia. An early contemporary of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Sorensen later became a designer for Tiffany Studios. His work is highly prized for its distinctive chemical patination and modernist forms.
