DESCRIPTION
A striking mid-century studio art glass bowl featuring a sculptural triangular foot and richly layered fused coloration in tones of olive, amber, gold, and smoky umber. The surface presents a painterly, map-like composition with delicate veining and organic transitions, characteristic of kiln-formed glass techniques.

The asymmetrical triangular base introduces an architectural quality that elevates the piece beyond a traditional vessel, giving it a distinctly sculptural presence. Its gently flared rim and fluid silhouette allow light to move across the surface, revealing depth, tonal variation, and intricate internal patterning.

This bowl is part of a curated companion pairing with a second piece featuring a square base (SKU DL155). While each stands independently as a decorative object, together they create a dynamic, collected studio glass composition.

In the staged setting, the bowl is shown alongside a vintage Hollywood Regency gilt and hand-decorated glass table lamp (SKU L171) and a Queen Anne style burl wood executive desk (SKU DR113), demonstrating its versatility as a refined accent in an entryway, study, or living space. The interplay between organic glass and traditional materials creates a layered, designer-forward vignette.

Ideal for use as a centerpiece, console accent, or sculptural decorative object in Mid-Century Modern, Organic Modern, or Transitional interiors.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Fused and kiln-formed art glass gained prominence in the mid-20th century as artists began exploring new ways to manipulate glass beyond traditional blowing techniques. By layering and melting sheets of glass together, artisans achieved richly textured, painterly surfaces with depth and variation not possible through conventional methods. This approach, often associated with studio glass movements and artists influenced by designers such as Michael and Frances Higgins, emphasized individuality, organic form, and artistic expression—qualities reflected in this piece’s layered coloration and sculptural base.
