About this item
This mid‑century Murano bowl brings a vibrant, sculptural presence to shelves or tabletop displays with its rich blue color, asymmetrical folded rim, and suspended bubble pattern.
A vintage Murano art glass ashtray or trinket bowl from mid‑century Italy, admired for its vibrant color, sculptural form, and masterful technique. The piece features a rich blue body shaped into an asymmetrical, folded rim that gives the bowl a fluid, hand‑formed presence. Throughout the glass, controlled air bubbles created using the traditional bullicante technique add depth and movement, catching light in soft, suspended patterns. The base shows the subtle pontil mark from being hand‑spun, a quiet reminder of its studio craftsmanship. Suitable for display, use as a catchall, or inclusion in a curated art glass collection.
Dimensions are approximately 5 inches wide and 3 inches tall.
