Up for sale is a stunning, authentic mid-century modern hand-blown Murano art glass shell bowl, attributed to the legendary master Archimede Seguso for Seguso Vetri d'Arte. Crafted in Venice, Italy during the 1950s, this exquisite piece features a biomorphic, fluid form reminiscent of a folded sea shell
The bowl utilizes a sophisticated opalino sommerso / alabastro technique. It showcases a rich, translucent seafoam or mint green top layer that floats gracefully over a dense, creamy opaline base. The soft, satiny glow changes beautifully under different lighting conditions, demonstrating the unparalleled sculptural sensibility of postwar Italian glass design.
This highly collectible piece is perfect as a statement centerpiece, a luxury catchall (vide-poche), a candy dish, or a prominent shelf display item for any mid-century modern enthusiast.
