ABOUT PRODUCTID 17439
Designed by P. Santalahti for the Humpilla glassworks in Finland, this decorative bowl exemplifies 1970s Scandinavian modernism. Its striking color transition—from deep amber at the center, through a warm golden yellow, to clear glass at the rim—creates a luminous, cohesive visual effect. The bowl features an organic, irregularly scalloped edge and a textured surface reminiscent of ice, with a semi-gloss, subtly reflective finish. Crafted from thick glass and shaped by hand, it has tactile undulations and subtle waves characteristic of artisan glasswork. Condition: very good, no chips or cracks, with an original label confirming authenticity and provenance.The bowl’s form resonates with the Finnish landscape of the 1970s: inspiration drawn from ice formations and northern light. The textured glass surface and undulating rim evoke the shards of melting ice or the stillness of frozen lakes, as though nature and time have left their gentle imprint. Its warm color gradient recalls the fleeting moments of a golden hour, encapsulating the essence of Scandinavian modernism—simplicity, light, and affinity with nature.The bowl can be displayed on a low console or a wooden table, where its radiant palette and organic form become a visual focal point. It pairs well with minimalist ceramics or clear glass candlesticks, creating a balanced, nature-inspired arrangement. In mid-century modern collector's interiors, the bowl acts as a cohesive centerpiece, while in Scandinavian settings, it celebrates the tradition of honest craftsmanship and the art of capturing light.
