This mid-century decorative bubble bowl, attributed to Venini Murano and inspired by the work of Carlo Scarpa, was hand-crafted using thick, mouth-blown glass in a rich, deep cobalt blue. The organic, rounded triangular shape with softly undulating edges and a high-gloss, polished finish refers directly to the refined aesthetics of Italian modernism. Both the interior and exterior surfaces are silk-smooth; the bowl is adorned with a regular pattern of small air bubbles suspended within the glass, exemplifying the artistry of Murano glassmakers. The saturated cobalt color displays a delicate translucency, showing varying intensity and depth as it interacts with shifting light. The piece measures approximately 10 x 10 cm, with a height of 4 cm. No visible chips or damage; only minimal, nearly imperceptible signs of gentle handling, typical of a carefully preserved vintage glass item. The overall condition is excellent, close to its original state. This bowl speaks in the voice of its era, when the vision of Italian designers met the evolving technological prowess of the legendary Venini glassworks. The air bubbles, locked within the glass, suggest a fragment of a tiny cosmos, while the glossy cobalt surface captures and diffuses light in a play of shadow and color—echoing the spirit of the 1950s, an era of creative experimentation and a new appreciation for refined detail. The object embodies a fascination with the hand-crafted; each one is the result of a deliberate act of artistry, leaving both the mark of the glassmaker and the preserved energy of the material within. The bowl can be paired with other glass or ceramic decorative pieces—such as a minimalist
