Vintage Murano Style Art Glass Centerpiece Bowl Mid-Century "Starfish" Freeform Dish

Elevate your home décor with this stunning vintage art glass bowl, an unmistakable nod to the iconic freeform designs of mid-century Murano and Venetian glassmakers. Key Features: • Design & Style: Features a highly decorative open-sided, star-like freeform shape with beautifully drawn-up points and cut-out sections. The distinctive, organic look is highly sought after by Mid-Century Modern collectors. • Colour & Finish: The glass boasts a captivating, warm palette best described as Peach, Honey, or Pale Amber. The colour is achieved using a Cased or Sommerso technique, with clear glass surrounding a lighter, opaque Milky-White or Opaline centre, creating a wonderful glow. • Dimensions: Approximately 8.5”x5.5”x5.5” across the widest points. This is a substantial size, ideal for use as an eye-catching centerpiece. • Technique: This is a substantial, hand-blown piece of heavy art glass. The base shows a circular, ground and flattened pontil mark (the sign of where the glass rod was detached during creation), which is a key characteristic of genuine hand-made vintage glass. • Condition: This vintage item is offered in Very Good condition, commensurate with its age. There are no chips or cracks. (Please review all photos, particularly of the base, as they form part of the description.) Why "Murano Style"? While this piece exhibits the tell-tale characteristics, weight, and quality of art glass made on the island of Murano, Italy, it does not retain an original factory sticker or signature. For this reason, I list it honestly as 'Murano Style' or 'Venetian Art Glass' it is a beautiful, high-quality piece of vintage Italian design. Ideal For: • Adding a warm, sculptural accent to any contemporary or vintage interior. • Serving as a decorative catch-all dish for keys or trinkets. • Gifting to a collector of Mid-Century Modern or European art glass.
