This Murano glass centerpiece bowl from the 1950s, made using the sommerso technique, features a sculptural, leaf-inspired form with multiple pointed edges and a dynamic, undulating rim. The dominant deep cobalt blue color gradually transitions into clear crystal at the edges, creating a strong and nuanced color gradient. The surface offers a glossy, smooth finish that reveals the glass’s clarity and depth. Hand-shaped thick walls and flowing lines point to the artisanal character of Murano craftsmanship. Its proportions and form reflect mid-century modern aesthetics, blending distinct decorative value with functionality—the bowl can serve as a practical vessel or stand alone as an artistic object. The condition is excellent, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.Within this bowl, the voice of 1950s Italian artistry is unmistakable: Murano glass, shaped with both precision and bravura, tells the story of an era that valued bold forms and light encapsulated in colored transparency. The deep blue evokes the Venetian lagoon, while the wave-like edges recall the liveliness and fluidity of postwar Italian design. Each play of light and every color transition spark a dialogue between nature and craft, an invitation to linger with both eye and touch upon this singular piece.It can be paired with other mid-century modern furniture and accessories, or set as a striking accent in contemporary interiors. The bowl works well atop a pale oak table, a marble console, or a minimalistic shelf, where the color gradient from cobalt to clear will be enhanced by daylight. It could be combined with simple ceramic or metal vessels, or left on its own, allowing its organic, sculptural silhouette to command attention.
