ABOUT PRODUCTID 33421
The Neptunus bowl, designed by Lars Hellsten for the renowned Swedish glassworks Orrefors in the 1960s, embodies the essence of Scandinavian modernism in glass. Crafted from thick, hand-blown glass, the bowl stands approximately 18 cm tall and measures 20 cm in diameter. Its form is harmonious and rounded, with a deep cobalt blue base that gently transitions into clear glass at the rim, resulting in a striking color gradient. The surface is glossy and impeccably smooth, with a carefully rounded edge and no visible seams or patterns—hallmarks of Orrefors’ artisanal precision. The glass mass is uniform and substantial, emphasizing both material quality and mastery of technique. The bowl is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of use, chips, or cracks. This piece channels the narrative of Scandinavian design’s golden age—a bowl that could easily have graced the table of architects in the 1960s, admired for its simplicity and focus on color. The cobalt glass evokes the cool northern light, while the fluid gradient mirrors the tranquil surface of a lake, moving from depth to clarity. The form stands on its own, needing no ornamentation; the interplay of shape and glass transparency subtly expresses the era’s philosophy, where function and beauty were inseparable. The Neptunus bowl can serve as a centerpiece on a living room table or console in a modern interior, where its color and refined simplicity will highlight the clarity of the arrangement. It pairs well with neutral ceramics, raw wood, or minimalist candleholders from the 1960s to underscore its vintage character. Spaces inspired by mid-century modern, Scandinavian minimalism, or curated eclecticism provide an ideal backdrop for this unique design. The listed price refers to a single piece.
