Dating back to the 1920s or 1930s, this piece marks the transition from ornamental décor to the functional, purist forms of early Modernism. Particularly characteristic is the delicate aquamarine shimmer of the glass, a result of the high material density and the specific composition of glass batches from that era. The cylindrical form, featuring a massive base and thick walls, gives the bowl a remarkable sculptural weight. Small, production related air bubbles and the gentle texture in the glass base underscore its authentic character and testify to early industrial or artisanal manufacturing.
with its timeless geometry, the bowl remains strikingly modern today. It is an exquisite collector's item that breathes history and serves as a functional design object perfect as a paperweight bowl or a purist decorative element in any sophisticated interior. See less
