This hand-crafted Murano glass bowl from the 1960s exemplifies Italian modernism in decorative utilitarian objects. It features a substantial, weighty construction typical of blown Murano glass. Measuring 30 cm in width and 19 cm in height, the bowl displays a deep, translucent amethyst-violet that subtly transitions into a cool, clear blue—a softly flowing gradient. The exterior is highly polished, accentuating the interplay of color and the refined craftsmanship. The bowl’s organic outline is defined by four asymmetrical arms, each gently flaring upward to create a sculptural, undulating silhouette. The thick glass walls and subtly thickened, rounded edges evoke the expertise of Murano masters. The condition is described as excellent: no visible signs of use or restoration. The bowl recalls the spirit of 1960s Italian modernism, a time when glassmakers drew inspiration from nature’s fluidity, light, and color. The amethyst purple melting into muted blue evokes a Venetian lagoon at dusk—where light disperses across glass, painting organic reflections. Its gently folded form captures the era’s quest for expressive simplicity and the exploration of material and light. The bowl echoes the voice of Murano artisans—objects that harmonize centuries-old tradition with a modernist sense of experimentation. Within an interior, this bowl could serve as a statement accent on a console in the living room—pairing elegantly with light marble, walnut veneer, or raw concrete surfaces, revealing its color interplay and gloss. The piece would suit mid-century modern collector's spaces, where organic forms meet calm, pared-back backgrounds. It can be displayed alongside other glass or ceramic pieces or hold a single branch—its color and form need no embellishment. It could also be combined with a lamp featuring brass accents or against a matte wall to underscore the depth of the glass.
