Delightful, circular bowl in blown, sommerso, solid, transparent Murano glass. It's very thick and heavy, with an iridescent exterior, meaning it's treated with a metallic luster with iridescent reflections. The leaf inside is also entirely handcrafted. It's signed "Barbini" on the bottom with a diamond-point signature and an original manufacturer's sticker. Made by Alfredo Barbini in the second half of the 20th century, the glass is very thick; although not particularly large, it weighs almost 2.5 kg, and the exterior surface is entirely frosted, making it irregular rather than smooth and uniform. The leaf in the center of the bowl is particularly beautiful, with numerous oblique lines extending from the center outward, entirely handcrafted, reminiscent of the veins of leaves.
