Hand-blown from colorful sommerso and canne techniques, the bowl features a fluid, organic form with a dramatically ruffled, wavy rim that evokes a casually draped handkerchief – Bianconi's signature innovation from the late 1940s onward.

The body is composed of layered transparent glass in vibrant shades of turquoise, teal, deep blue, and cobalt, interwoven with swirling vertical stripes and subtle white accents for a mesmerizing optical effect. The colors blend seamlessly in a hypnotic wave pattern, creating depth, movement, and a luminous play of light that shifts beautifully from different angles.

Origin & Period:
Murano, Italy – designed by Fulvio Bianconi (1915–1996), the influential Venetian glass artist who revolutionized post-war Murano design with his experimental forms and bold color combinations.
Produced in the 1950s–1970s (peak Fazzoletto era), this piece captures the essence of Mid-Century Modern Venetian glass art. See less
