ABOUT PRODUCTID 38593
This decorative bowl, designed by P. Santalahti for the Finnish Humpilla glassworks in the 1970s, is a refined example of Scandinavian modernist glass art. The bowl features a vivid, warm color gradient that transitions from deep amber at the center through intense golden yellow to a completely clear rim. The edge is irregular and undulating, giving the piece an organic, hand-formed character. The surface texture is reminiscent of ice—semi-glossy, subtly reflective, and full of small ridges and nuances typical of artisanal production. Made from thick, solid glass in a seamless single-piece form, the bowl bears the original manufacturer’s label, confirming its authenticity and provenance. The condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or repairs.The form of this bowl echoes the story of Finnish design in the 1970s, where inspiration drawn from nature—ice, northern evening light, the clarity of lakes—finds expression in everyday objects. The irregular rim and organic texture suggest the fleeting moment of melting ice caught under the sun’s rays. The luminous, warm color palette brings a subtle interplay of light into the interior, reflecting the Scandinavian tradition of capturing natural phenomena in functional art.This bowl can be displayed on a low wooden console or on a table in the living room, where its luminous gradient and natural shape become a focal point. It pairs well with minimalist ceramics in neutral tones or clear glass candleholders for a balanced mid-century modern composition. In Scandinavian-inspired spaces, the bowl highlights an appreciation for authentic craftsmanship and the harmonious interaction of light with natural materials.
