The piece features a generously proportioned, rounded bowl crafted from thick, clear glass, distinguished by its substantial weight of almost three kilograms.

On opposite sides, two sculptural leaves in vivid turquoise-blue glass are applied to the transparent body. Their pronounced veins, textured surfaces and gently curved profiles create a striking contrast with the smooth, luminous clarity of the central bowl.

The design achieves a compelling balance between transparency and substance, combining the visual lightness of clear glass with the expressive, almost organic character of the coloured applications.

Particularly noteworthy is the survival of the original manufacturer’s label, now considerably faded with age. Under close examination, including magnification, the inscription “Nason Moretti Italy” remains partially discernible, providing an important identifying detail.

with its generous proportions, substantial weight and distinctive sculptural elements, this centerpiece embodies the decorative qualities of twentieth-century Murano glassmaking.

Equally effective as a functional bowl or displayed independently as a sculptural object, it offers a refined accent for both contemporary and traditional interiors.
