From 1860 to 1915, fishbowls were a very common type of dishware. These intricately designed pieces often had scenes of the city etched around the edges with a sculpted fish centered in the middle that wiggled around as liquid was poured into it. This art form was lost but was revived in Yerevan in the 1960’s. In this video, Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian displays three silver plated antique fishbowls we have here at the Museum.
