About MeGlass goldfish bowl with a charming scene depicting an 18th century fisherman with his cut-away coat, breeches, neck-tie and brimmed hat, pulling a fish out of water. It is likely that the bowl was made in England during the last half of the 18th century, but the engraving may be a later addition.
