This set of five pressed glass bowls, produced in Italy in the 1970s, includes one larger serving bowl (height 7.5 cm, diameter 22 cm) and four smaller individual bowls (height 3.5 cm, diameter 12 cm). The clear, cool-toned glass is formed with a dynamic spiral relief that wraps around the exterior of each piece. The rims are accented with an original, hand-painted red line. The glossy finish enhances the transparency and brilliance of the glass. The design reflects Italian modernism of the 1970s, with its emphasis on geometric forms and refined decorative details. The proportions are harmonious, with gently flared sides and rounded bases, and the overall effect is both tactile and visually light. The set is in good vintage condition, with only minor surface scratches and typical signs of gentle use; all elements, including the red rim, remain original and show no evidence of restoration.This set echoes the narrative of 1970s Italian design, when glass became a canvas for texture and color exploration. The spiral motif seems to flow across each bowl, evoking the movement and rhythm of daily life in that era, while the red rim—like an artist's gesture—adds a touch of theatricality. The bowls invite a play of smoothness and tactile relief, blurring the line between functional tableware and decorative object.The set could be displayed on a modernist dining table, where its transparent form would contrast elegantly with simple ceramic dishes or steel cutlery. In mid-century modern interiors, these bowls would offer a subtle vintage accent, while in eclectic, collector-inspired spaces, they could be paired with Murano glass or minimalist decorations. Used for salads, fruit, or desserts, the hand-painted red rim would serve as a gentle visual highlight.
