The entire composition is encased in clear glass and finished with a luminous opaline interior, creating a piece of considerable optical complexity and depth.

The layering technique employed here demands a high degree of skill in execution, and the result — a surface that shifts and animates in changing light — is testament to the quality of the glassmaker's craft.

A piece of considerable decorative presence, this bowl displays exceptionally well and would make a distinguished addition to any collection of decorative art glass. The complexity of its construction and the rarity of the patterning make it a particularly noteworthy find for the serious collector. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
