ABOUT PRODUCTID 32090
This 1960s bowl, produced by Ingrid Glashutte in West Germany, embodies the essence of mid-century modern simplicity and the era's artisanal precision. Crafted from clear, relatively thick glass, it features a distinctive crackle (craquelure) finish that envelops both its sides and flat base. The bowl’s cylindrical form, with straight vertical walls and a flat bottom, highlights the geometric minimalism typical of the 1960s. The transparent, unadorned glass showcases a cool, colorless tone, while its glossy surface enhances the depth of the crackle effect by reflecting the light. Minor chips and small losses are visible on the upper rim—subtle marks of time and gentle use. The overall condition is rated as good, with original patina and authentic vintage characteristics preserved. Though modest in form, this piece channels the voice of the 1960s—a time when modernism blended purity of line with a fascination for material texture. The craquelure surface speaks to the experimental spirit of the era: glass that does not strive for flawlessness, but allows light to dance across myriad tiny fissures, creating an understated display of shadows and reflections. The bowl stands as a quiet witness to postwar Western Europe, where design was intended to be both functional and gently poetic in its simplicity. In an interior, the Ingrid Glashutte bowl can serve as a striking accent on a table or sideboard, particularly alongside mid-century modern furnishings or minimalist accessories in natural materials such as wood, ceramics, or metal. It may be paired with matte-finished plates or glassware with contrasting textures, forming a composition that celebrates material diversity. The bowl works well either as a vessel for small fruits or as a standalone decorative object, showcasing the interplay of light and shadow in a collector’s setting. The listed price refers to a single piece.
