This exceptional cabinet piece features a low, bulbous profile with a wide, rounded shoulder that tapers elegantly inward toward a clean, circular rim. The iridescent glass boasts a deep cobalt blue base layer that yields a magnificent, high-metallic teal and peacock-green finish. Because Blue Aurene was produced in much smaller numbers than its gold counterpart, substantial centerpiece bowls of this scale are increasingly difficult for collectors to find.
