ABOUT PRODUCTID 29518
This bowl or ashtray from the 1960s, crafted by the Italian house Barovier & Toso, exemplifies the bullicante technique—controlled air bubbles suspended within Murano glass. The piece is made from thick, hand-formed glass in a vivid cobalt blue that gradually transitions to clear at the rim and base, creating a subtle gradient effect. Its organic, freeform shape, with softly undulating edges and three pronounced indentations, reflects the essence of Italian mid-century modern design. The glossy, smooth surface and precise distribution of bubbles highlight the mastery of its craftsmanship. The piece is preserved in excellent vintage condition, showing no visible damage or chips and only minimal signs of use.
In this compact form lies the spirit of 1960s Italian glass art, where color and light engage in a harmonious dialogue. The bowl evokes the atmosphere of Murano workshops—vivid, shimmering with the depth of cobalt and transparency, as if capturing a fragment of the blue sky. The evenly spaced bullicante bubbles create a sense of suspended lightness, while the gentle, flowing rim invites touch, conjuring images of natural, organic shapes and the freedom of postwar modernism.
This object may be paired with minimalist mid-century accessories such as geometric ceramic or polished metal vases, as well as light marble or warm-toned wood. It would work well as a decorative accent on a living room console, a coffee table, or in a design collector's study. It is worth combining with other glass details or abstract art to enhance the depth of color and the optical lightness of its form.
