A commanding statement piece for the Hollywood Regency or Moody Maximalist interior, this large 12.5-inch console bowl is a masterclass in mid-century glassmaking. While it presents as a high-gloss, opaque obsidian black in ambient light, it reveals a breathtaking cherry-red and violet translucency when backlit—a definitive hallmark of authentic black amethyst glass.
The bowl features a dramatic hand-fluted ruffled rim and a substantial pedestal-style foot. The interior center exhibits a smoothed manufacturing mark, and the underside shows the fire-polished recesses characteristic of high-quality hand-finished production from the L.E. Smith factory. Its low-profile, wide-diameter silhouette makes it a perfect sculptural centerpiece for a dining table or mantle.
