    Here is a thematic, Art Deco display of items depicting mourning women. The centerpiece dish was designed by Farber Bros of Brooklyn, NY, circa 1930's. I think it's a candy dish, and the etched glass insert might be from Cambridge Glass Co. The chrome female nudes adorning the dish are often referred to as the "Weeping Nudes", "Cubic Nudes", or "Bashful Nudes."

    I've flanked the dish with a similar themed pair of heavy pot metal bookends. I'm not sure of the manufacturer of these bookends, but they are often referred to as the "Mourning Lady" bookends. Also circa 1930's. I love the old bronze patina on these bookends.
