Hand‑blown from 24% lead crystal, the piece has a sleek, low disc profile that reads very Italian modern and minimalist while still offering the weight and sparkle collectors look for.

The form features a wide, shallow rim with a raised central well (about 3" in diameter) set within a 9" overall diameter. It works beautifully as a sculptural centerpiece bowl for fruit, flowers, or objects, and can also be styled as a candle bowl with a chunky pillar or sphere candle resting in the center. This particular low, disc‑shaped Colle design is not commonly seen, making it a distinctive addition to an Italian crystal collection.

The base carries the etched Colle mark along with the original “Colle – Oltre 24% PbO – Made in Italy” foil label, confirming it as genuine 24% lead crystal made in Italy. Likely produced in the late 20th century, during the period when Colle worked under noted Italian designer Angelo Mangiarotti as creative director, it’s a refined example of contemporary Italian crystal design without feeling fussy or over‑ornate.

Perfect on a dining table, console, coffee table, or bar, either left empty as a sculptural object or filled with seasonal elements. Mixes easily with Murano glass, mid‑century pieces, and clean contemporary interiors. See less
