Blending the bold architectural structuralism of the Art Deco era with the organic, raw textures of 1960s modernism, this substantial piece is a masterclass in light refraction.Design HistoryThis highly collectible 12-point star design is deeply tied to the historic French "molded ice glass" patterns originally popularized by designer Pierre d’Avesn for Daum Nancy. Walther Glas adapted this iconic starburst silhouette into a widened, low-slung, grand-scale centerpiece bowl during the mid-to-late 20th century.Details & TextureThe bowl tapers dramatically down from a wide, multi-faceted star rim into a heavy, stable geometric base. The exterior features a rugged, deeply molded "bark" or "icicle" texture that beautifully mimics natural frost configurations, contrasting elegantly with the smooth, polished interior. Its impressive 13.5-inch scale makes it a perfect standalone focal piece for a mid-century modern dining table, a Hollywood Regency console, or a contemporary entryway display.Condition & DimensionsCondition: Excellent vintage condition. Free of cracks, structural chips, or clouding. Displays minimal, age-appropriate shelf wear on the underside of the base.Dimensions: 13.5" Width (point-to-point) x 13.5" Depth x 6.5" HeightStyles: Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, ModernMaterials: Pressed Glass, Crystal See less
