This Empire-style centerpiece, created in Italy circa 1880–1900, offers a refined interplay of materials and neoclassical ornamentation. The broad bowl is crafted from deep pink, mass-colored glass with a high-gloss, translucent surface and a dramatically ruffled edge that lends the piece a sense of lightness.

The centerpiece suits Empire, classical, or eclectic interiors, as well as contemporary spaces as a singular decorative accent. It can be paired with gilded mirrors, crystal decanters, or cand
