The bowl features a luminous blue glass body with pronounced vertical ribbing, characteristic of Rigadin work, paired with a contrasting yellow glass foot that gives the piece striking sculptural presence.

The Rigadin technique, defined by its rhythmic ribbed texture, is one of Murano’s most enduring decorative traditions, requiring exceptional control during blowing to achieve uniformity and clarity. Carlo Moretti embraced this historic method while reinterpreting it through a modernist lens, favoring bold color contrasts and clean, architectural forms.

Founded in 1958, Carlo Moretti S.r.l. became synonymous with modern Murano glass, intentionally departing from ornate Venetian traditions in favor of minimalist, design-forward objects. Moretti’s work is widely collected and represented in international design and glass collections.

This bowl works beautifully as a serving piece, centerpiece, or display object, offering both functional scale and museum-quality craftsmanship.
