The … more This large vintage Murano art glass bowl displays an ever-changing rainbow of colors that have an almost psychedelic quality. The bowl with an oval footprint has a heart-shaped appearance from some views and a half-melon one from others. Its unusual surface finish on the interior and around the top rim creates an effect alternating between iridescence and light abrasion. While deep smoky pink-to-amethyst-to-purple hues dominate this piece from afar, the iridescence results in a lustrous rainbow-like play of color that changes with different angles of view, different light sources and different times of day, causing numerous colors and hues to come into play... including shades of oranges, yellow-golds and greens. Some of the fantastic range of coloration can be seen in the photos which should be considered part of the description.

The chameleon-like kaleidoscope of colors in this rare and unusual art glass piece adds a wonderful pop of color to any setting or decor, especially a contemporary one, and will make quite the conversation piece! Although designed originally for use as an ashtray with indentations at each end for a cigarette or cigar, it makes a striking vide poche or candy, potpourri, jewelry or catchall bowl. It's also a great piece to display all on its own or as part of a Murano or other art glass collection.

Created in the late 1950's on the Venetian island of Murano during its mid-century art glass 'renaissance'.

Measurements: width 7 inches x depth 5.75 inches x height 2.5 inches. The flat oval base approximately 2.75 inches in length. Weighs a hefty 3 lbs 1 oz.

In very good vintage condition for age and use. No chips, cracks, gouges or repairs. See Condition section below for further details. less

In addition to several very light exterior surface scratches, there are a couple of anomalies in the the finish which appear to have a somewhat higher sheen in certain lighting which may have developed from normal usage over 60+ years as opposed to being original imperfections (although that is only speculation). Such anomalies are often considered part of the charm and even value of an authentic handmade vintage art piece. These areas are only visible from certain angles and under some lighting conditions which made it extremely difficult to represent in photos... but do check the extreme closeup in the last photo (which portrays an exaggerated impression due to super enlargement). less
