The unique aspect of this centerpiece is its multi-piece construction.
The lower base features brass stems with flowers that are designed to swivel.
The glass bowl is secured in place by the top ornate brass rim.
To remove the bowl for cleaning or transport, you loosen four screws located on the upper section.
These four screws also connect the main support branches directly to the pedestal base.

The bottom of the brass frame is completely unmarked, which is typical for this era.
The center glass bowl has an etched design that runs all the way around the bowl.

Because the glass is hand-blown rather than machine-made, there are three or four small air bubbles trapped in the glass.
Also, a small air bubble inclusion is present in the glass insert that is consistent with hand-blown production. **** See photo ****

All four screws that secure the bowl are tight.
The three screws that attache the arms to the base are tight.
The floral stems swivel left and right. ( One is tighter than the other two,might need to be adjusted)
