The bowl features a bullicante decoration, with controlled air bubbles suspended within the glass and radiating outward from the centre, creating depth and visual movement. The form is a shallow circular freeform with softly curved edges. Two opposing folds along the rim give the bowl a gently sculptural profile, reminiscent of a shell. On the underside, radiating ridges extend from the centre, enhancing the optical effect of the glass and producing a lively interaction with light when viewed from different angles. The clarity of the green glass combined with the bullicante technique results in a surface that feels both structured and fluid, characteristic of Murano glass production of the period. The bowl is well suited for use as a vide-poche, centrepiece, or candy dish, while remaining equally effective as a purely decorative object. The piece is in good condition for its age and use. There are no chips or breakages, and only minor wear is present, consistent with careful handling over time.
