Description from the seller
Ultra-Rare "Anemone" Bowl – Dichroic Neodymium & Uranium Glass – Organic Design – 1930s/1950s
Description:
An exceptional find in glass art, unique for its combination of three distinct historical production technologies. This organic, biomorphic design bowl represents the pinnacle of mid-century chemical glass experimentation.
The object features a triple chromatic reaction, an extremely rare trait for collectors:
Neodymium Effect (Daylight/Cool Light): The object appears in a clear ice blue / sky blue shade.
Alexandrite Effect (Warm Incandescent Light): The glass shifts drastically toward lilac, lavender, and pinkish-purple.
Uranium Effect (UV Light): Under a Wood's lamp (UV), the piece reveals a stunning bright green fluorescence with the characteristic "dotted" reaction pattern found in high-era opalescent glass.
The finish is entirely acid-etched (frosted) with superior velvet quality, diffusing light softly. The lack of a visible signature, combined with the technical complexity, suggests an early production run or a period piece that originally bore a paper label from a prestigious glassworks (e.g., Lalique, Sabino, or Moser).
Condition:
Excellent. No chips, cracks, or restorations. The petal tips are perfectly intact.
Technical Data:
Dimensions: Width 10 cm | Height 4.8 cm | Depth 4 cm.
Weight: 232 grams (solid glass).
Material: Uranium-doped Neodymium Glass.
Period: 1930-1950.
Style: Art Deco / Organic Mid-Century.
