Controlled air bubbles are suspended throughout the body, creating depth and a layered optical effect within the form. The coloration shifts subtly from deep red-orange to a more luminous amber tone depending on the light, demonstrating the chromatic sensitivity associated with mid-century Murano glass. The clarity of the material enhances the visibility of the internal bubble pattern, contributing to the bowl’s sculptural presence. The form is primarily circular, with a single hand-shaped indentation at the rim that introduces a measured asymmetry. This detail softens the outline while maintaining a restrained and balanced profile. The bowl measures approximately 3.7 inches (9.5 cm) in diameter, 3.9 inches (10 cm) in depth, and 2 inches (5 cm) in height, giving it a compact yet notably deep form. It can be used as a catchall, small vessel, or decorative object. Condition is very good vintage, with light surface wear consistent with age and use. No chips or cracks are observed. See less
