ABOUT PRODUCTID 4677
This Murano crystal centerpiece bowl, produced by Mandruzatto around 1950, exemplifies the artistry of Italian glassmaking in the 1950s. Crafted from thick, hand-blown crystal glass colored in the mass, it features a warm, honey-amber hue with fluid tonal transitions—from a deep golden shade at the base to a lighter, almost creamy tint at the edges. The highly sculptural form is defined by elongated arms that curl upward and outward in elegant spirals, evoking mid-century modern and biomorphic influences. The smooth, polished surface accentuates the substantial materiality of the glass, while the flat, ground underside ensures stability. There are no visible seams, chips, or signs of restoration; the piece remains in excellent, well-preserved condition. This bowl tells the story of mid-20th-century Italian modernism—its organic contours and noble material echo the era when Murano stood at the forefront of glass innovation. The elongated, dynamic silhouette appears to capture and diffuse light in warm amber tones, while the spiraling arms guide the eye along its edge, evoking a sense of creative joy and the pursuit of harmony between art and function. In its form, the bowl carries the memory of Italy’s golden age of design, when every detail mattered and material became a voice of its time. The bowl could serve as a striking centerpiece on an oak or marble table, where daylight enhances the depth of its color and the luster of the glass. It may be paired with other vintage pieces from the 1950s or 60s, such as a milky glass lamp or a minimalist sculpture, to underscore its sculptural character. Within a mid-century modern arrangement, it combines well with dark, saturated upholstery and simple, geometric furniture forms. Alternatively, it can be placed on a sideboard among brass
