This set includes one bowl that retains its original factory foil label—a vital piece of provenance that verifies the authentic Italian pedigree for both pieces.

Artistry & Design:
Dating to the 1950s/60s, these bowls are a showcase of the Macchia (spotted) technique. Each piece features:
• Copper Aventurine: Heavy, shimmering metallic flakes infused within the glass that brilliantly catch and reflect light.
• Cased Red Rim: A bold, hand-applied red border that provides a striking visual contrast to the organic "splash" or "fazzoletto" silhouette.

Condition & Specifications:
• Quantity: Two (2) matching bowls.
• Dimensions: Approximately 9” x 8” each.
• Weight: Each bowl has a substantial hand-blown weight of over 2 lbs.
• Base: Both feature expertly polished pontil marks characteristic of master craftsmanship.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks to the delicate glass "fingers." One bowl retains partial original label remnants as shown in photos.

Collector’s Note:
Finding a matched pair of this scale and quality is becoming increasingly difficult. These make a stunning symmetrical statement on a mantle, dining table, or matching end tables. See less
