Deep purple, violet and blue flow through this signed Salviati Murano art glass bowl, creating dramatic color within its heavy sculptural form. The hand-shaped rim rises and folds into four sweeping lobes, while thick clear glass surrounds the colored interior. Approximately 6 inches across and 3 inches tall, it displays beautifully from every angle.
The base is engraved “SALVIATI,” confirming its origin with the historic Venetian glassmaker founded in 1859. Salviati used engraved signatures during the later mid-20th century, and purple-and-blue cased glass examples are documented from this period. The layered coloration and clear outer glass reflect the sommerso tradition central to postwar Murano design.
Its organic freeform silhouette makes this a strong example of Italian modernist glass. Pre-owned condition may include light base wear; review photographs closely for condition and signature.
