Description from the seller
Vintage / Contemporary Blue Murano Glass Starburst Centre Piece Bowl
Description
Stunning hand-blown art glass centre piece bowl featuring a vibrant ocean-blue colour with fluid white and lighter blue swirling patterns (sommereso or swirl technique).
The dramatic free-form, starburst or flower-like shape has undulating, wavy “flame” edges that catch the light beautifully, creating a dynamic, sculptural effect. This substantial decorative bowl makes an eye-catching table centrepiece or display piece.
Dimensions
Approx. 25 cm × 24 cm × 10 cm (width × depth × height)
Weight: 659 grams
Production
Murano, Venice, Italy. Murano glass has been renowned worldwide for centuries for its superior quality and artistic craftsmanship.
This style of bold, colourful, free-form bowls was particularly popular in the Mid-Century Modern period (1950s–1970s) and continues to be produced by skilled artisans on the island today using traditional techniques.
Art Style
Mid-Century Modern / Venetian Art Glass – organic, sculptural form with expressive colour swirls and a dramatic wavy rim, typical of Murano’s post-war decorative glass production.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. Light signs of age are normal for hand-blown glass.
Perfect for lovers of Italian art glass, coastal or contemporary interiors! A timeless and colourful statement piece.
