A subtle gradient of smoky blue defines this hand-crafted art glass bowl by Finnish designer Timo Sarpaneva, created around 1960. The smooth, rounded form reveals a masterful balance between clarity and opacity, allowing light to diffuse gently across its surface. Sarpaneva’s refined control of glass techniques, combined with a keen sensibility for texture, results in a piece that feels both fluid and deliberate. The lower section holds a faint mist of trapped air and tonal variation, lending depth and quiet movement to the otherwise minimalist shape.
Reflecting the essence of Scandinavian Modern aesthetics, the bowl embodies purity of form, material integrity, and an understated elegance that speaks to mid-century ideals of functional beauty and timeless design.
