The bowl presents an impressively thick glass wall — approximately 1 cm — which enhances its weight, presence, and luminous depth. Its proportions are generous yet harmonious: 30 cm in diameter (24 cm internal opening) and 13 cm in height, allowing it to function beautifully as a centerpiece, a sculptural object, or an elegant catchall on a console or dining table. The rounded form is perfectly balanced, with a smooth continuous profile that showcases the masterful control of the glassblower. Under natural and artificial light, the bowl reveals different personalities — sometimes crisp and transparent, sometimes warm and radiant, with the amber band subtly rising from the base like a suspended veil of color. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the precise lip to the uniform curvature of the body. In very good overall condition, with only minimal signs of age. A refined and collectible example of 1980s Murano production, both decorative and highly sculptural. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
