This striking amethyst art glass bowl showcases the fluid, sculptural forms that defined Mid-Century Modern glasswork. Its freeform silhouette, gently undulating rim, and deep purple hue create a piece that feels both organic and architectural. The glass is thick and substantial, with controlled internal bubble characteristics visible in the body, a hallmark detail often found in Murano-style studio production from the 1960s and 1970s. Whether displayed on a credenza, coffee table, or bar surface, it commands attention as a standalone centerpiece.
Pieces of this style were frequently produced by Italian art glass houses, though many examples remain unmarked, making precise attribution difficult without an original label. What matters most is the visual impact and craftsmanship — the smooth polish, the saturated amethyst tone, and the balanced weight of the form all reflect hand-finished studio work rather than mass production. This bowl can function as a decorative centerpiece, a catchall dish, or an artistic accent that elevates modern or vintage interiors alike.
Condition is good, with no cracks observed. Minor surface wear consistent with age may be present, as shown in the photos. Exact measurements are provided in the accompanying images; please reference the photos for scale and dimensions. A beautiful piece of authentic Mid-Century art glass that adds color, form, and history to any collection.
