ABOUT PRODUCTID 32831
This pair of small shell-shaped bowls is a fine example of Italian art glass from the 1960s, originating from Naples. Each bowl is hand-formed from mass-colored glass, combining a vivid, translucent blue with clear accents for a subtle two-tone effect. The design is organic and irregular, featuring undulating, asymmetrical edges and fluid lines that reference natural forms and the sculptural sensibility distinctive of Italian mid-century modern glasswork. The glass is thick, with pronounced variations in transparency and visible air bubbles—hallmarks of artisanal production from this era. Both pieces have smoothly finished bases and no visible construction joints. They are preserved in very good condition, showing no chips, cracks, or repairs, and retain their original glossy surface. These bowls evoke the spirit of 1960s Italy, when design drew inspiration from the sea and natural forms. Their shapes recall memories of seaside walks along the Neapolitan coast—sea breezes, delicate blue tones, and the play of light on water. The glass, full of inner movement and subtle irregularities, tells a story of the meeting between artisan and nature: each shell-like form captures a fleeting moment between the everyday and the dreamlike. These bowls can be placed on a low sideboard of light wood or a marble countertop, where the glass will catch daylight beautifully. They work well as accent pieces on a coffee table in a mid-century modern living room or an eclectic collector’s interior. Consider pairing them with other transparent vessels or nature-inspired ceramics to highlight their organic character. The listed price refers to the set—a pair of bowls.
