This glass bowl, created by the German Friedrich manufactory in the 1970s, exemplifies a modernist approach to form and decorative technique. Its wide, rounded silhouette rests on a short, thick pedestal base, lending the piece visual stability. The primary tone is a translucent, smoky beige with cool undertones, enlivened by an expressive, irregular marbled pattern in white and brown. The organic veining, reminiscent of tree branches or mineral inclusions, covers the entire surface, while the smooth, glossy finish enhances the interplay and depth of colour. The base is slightly darker and more opaque, providing a visual anchor to the composition. The original Friedrich sticker on the base confirms authenticity. Condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of repair; the bowl is well-preserved, showing no evidence of heavy use.The form of this bowl tells the story of 1970s Germany, when fascination with natural motifs and colour experimentation met precise glassmaking craftsmanship. The organic marbling embedded within the glass suggests a search for individuality in everyday objects—each piece seems to narrate its own version of nature and materiality. The glass surface reflects light in a constantly shifting way, creating an impression of depth and movement, as if the bowl had captured a fragment of mist or a mineral landscape.The Friedrich bowl can be displayed on a console or low sideboard in the living room, where its marbled pattern will contrast with smooth wood or stone. It can be paired
