Carved Figurative Vase with Nude Woman (for a Men's Club)

Offered by: Allan Katz Americana

Description
American. Found in Upstate New York. Masterfully carved from one piece of wood. Purportedly, this intriguing piece was said to have been displayed at a men’s club. On “ladies night” the side with the vase would be placed facing outward, while all other nights, when only the men gathered, it was turned around to reveal a beautiful nude woman with a fetching smile.
