The dish is composed of alternating bands of cobalt blue, warm amber-red, and clear glass, arranged in a radial pinwheel pattern that draws the eye toward the center. Hand-shaped and fluid in character, the form balances crisp geometry with organic movement. The striped decoration creates a strong sense of rhythm across the surface, while the shallow profile allows light to pass through the glass freely, producing vivid reflections and subtle color shadows. The palette is bold yet harmonious, typical of late 20th-century Murano decorative glass, and the pinwheel construction emphasizes the skill of the glassblower. functions well as a candy dish or trinket dish, while remaining equally effective as a purely decorative art glass object. The dish measures approximately 17 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height. It is in very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of handling consistent with age and careful use. See less
