Giant Lota Bowl. Bridgeport: Sherms, 1939. Handsome metal bowl fills with water and is emptied, only to refill itself again and again. Copper and brass, 7" high, mouth 4". Very good. This product was a source of dispute between P&L and Sherms, with each firm claiming the rights to this design. P&L manufactured an all-copper version, while Sherms's was a combination of brass and copper.
