This Murano glass decorative bowl, hand-formed in Italy in the 1970s, exemplifies the artistic tradition of mid-century glassmaking. Its asymmetric, six-pointed star silhouette with gently rounded protrusions creates an organic, fluid line. The center and interior are dominated by a deep, transparent burgundy, while the rim is encircled by a wide, cool, light green band achieved using the sommerso technique. The highly glossy, mirror-like finish accentuates the smooth surface, free from additional patterning or decorative inclusions—there are no hardware or extraneous elements to break the form. The interplay of rich color and controlled proportion makes this piece suitable as a bowl for snacks or jewelry, as well as a sculptural accent in a living space.Visually, the bowl suggests the movement of molten glass captured mid-flow, using irregularity and the dynamic gradient of color to evoke depth and lightness. The minimalist structure balances complexity within layered color, producing a sense of openness. Subtle undulations and a reflective plane typify the bold, experimental approach to Murano glass design of the last century—one that values organic forms and refined craftsmanship.It will work well displayed solo on a console or low table, especially near natural wood furniture and understated, neutral textiles. The burgundy center can be emphasized by pairing with black or deep purple elements, while accents of light green or opal glass echo the rim’s tone. In daylight or targeted lighting, the mirrored surface comes alive with reflections, further sculpting the bowl’s distinctive silhouette.
