Crafted from high-quality, opaque opal glass, the piece captivates with its rich yet soft "Rosa Ceralacca" (sealing wax pink) hue—a color particularly prized in 1960s designs.

The most striking design feature is the continuous, applied band of clear crystal glass in the so-called "Morrise" technique. This handcrafted, jagged decoration lends the otherwise simple, bulbous body a dynamic texture and playfully refracts the light. The bowl rests on an elegant, clear base that underscores the design's lightness.
