I spotted this unusual Punch Bowl set today at Grass Island Market in Guilford, CT Would you say the style is Art Deco? Could anyone in this group offer some info about this set?

Thanks

Hello all, I bought this art-deco plaque back in the early 1970s at a small junk shop in northern Iowa.  It is blue mirror and I've always thought the figure to be "celluloid" but have since figured it might be plaster.  Obviously NOT a "House of David" piece due to subject matter ;-).  Measures 16" tall by 8" wide. A piece like it was used in the set decor in the 1937 movie "Topper" (it is on the wall beside the elevator in The Kerbey's apartment building!).  Hope someone might be able to tell me WHO made it, WHEN, etc.  I'd never want to part with her, but it'd be great to know she might be worth something! Thanks!  Char

Thanks, Tom. So...actually the 1918 prints would be Art Deco (unless you are a purist :)) Here's another 1918 Vouge Poster I'm researching by Helen Dryden. Both of them were purchased in London at Conde Nast in 1973. I see the same vouge posters over and over in my online search but can't seem to find these...

Wonder where that leaves that six year period between 1914 and 1920? Do you know if it has a name?

So...'history' on this period of the Vogue cover prints would be where? Online, I found lots of vogue cover prints and places to get them re-created into art but this particular print is not anywhere to be found. Just want to learn more about this area of art...
