Herman Hanson Rice Bowls | Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1940s

A little different than the ordinary effect. After the rice has doubled in quantity, one bowl is turned over, and out flows a steady stream of multi-colored paper ribbon (hat coil), and to cap it all a large bouquet of flowers (spring flowers) is produced from the same bowl.

P&L Hallmark. Wear to bowls with age and a small dent on the bottom of one bowl (does not impact the operation or ability of bowl to sit flat).

An uncommon P&L product invented by Herman Hanson, who served as stage manager to the Thurston show and later managed Max Holden's magic shop in Boston.
