Lota Vase. Philadelphia: Carl Brema & Son, 1920s. Nickel-plated vase is emptied of its liquid contents, but moments later is full again. The vase is emptied repeatedly, after mysteriously refilling itself time and again. Height 15". Heavy weighted base. With a letter of provenance from Jack Chanin, stating that the vase was made by Brema for ?a Syrian magician in 1927 at the sesquicentennial in Philadelphia." And further tracing its ownership. A RARE Brema item and the first we have encountered.
