The low, broad body rises into two gently curved sides, with a deep opening at the centre of the rim. Seen from the front, the form is almost symmetrical; from the side, it appears more fluid and open.

The bowl is made from thick clear glass with a densely textured surface. The irregular pattern breaks up the light and gives the glass a lively appearance, particularly in direct sunlight or under focused interior lighting. Four small integrated feet raise the bowl above the table and add definition to its profile.

The shape is both decorative and practical. It can be used as a fruit bowl or table centerpiece, but it is equally convincing when displayed empty as a sculptural glass object. with its generous width and low height, it works well on a dining table, coffee table or console.

Peill & Putzler was based in Düren, Germany, and became known during the postwar period for modern glassware and lighting. This bowl reflects the company’s interest in strong silhouettes, textured surfaces and functional forms. This piece has an attribution mark,
