This sculptural emerald green art glass bowl presents a striking organic silhouette defined by sweeping folded lobes and a radiant internal bubble field. The heavy, luminous glass interacts dramatically with light, creating shifting tones from deep emerald to near-clear highlights along the curling rim. Viewed from above, the bowl reveals a rhythmic radial structure that reads almost floral or biomorphic in composition. The piece functions as a decorative centerpiece as much as a vessel, offering strong visual presence in both natural and artificial light.
Attribution & Period
Unmarked Czech art glass example, stylistically aligned with Central European studio and factory production of the 1960s. The saturated emerald coloration, controlled internal bubble inclusions, and thick sculptural mass are characteristic of Czech pressed and mold-assisted art glass from the mid-century period. The flowing organic rim and biomorphic symmetry reflect design language seen in Bohemian decorative glass works produced for export during this era. No factory mark was observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 3 in
Width / Diameter: 6.5 in
Depth / Base Diameter: 2 in
Weight: 2.206 lbs
Condition
Very good condition. No cracks, hairlines, chips, or repairs observed. Minor surface wear and light scratches present on the base consistent with normal shelf contact. Internal bubbles and inclusions are inherent to the manufacturing process. UV light images show optical color shift between green and blue due to glass thickness and light refraction, not damage.
Authenticity & Construction
Constructed from thick molded art glass with controlled bubble inclusions distributed throughout the body of the piece. The bowl was likely produced using a mold-assisted hot glass technique in which molten glass containing trapped air inclusions was formed into the sculptural radial mold, then hand-finished at the rim. The substantial weight and optical density confirm a solid art glass construction rather than thin blown glass.
Placement
Ideal as a sculptural centerpiece on a dining table, console, or cocktail table where directional light can activate the color depth and internal bubble structure. It also works effectively in layered interior compositions with stone, lacquer, or metal surfaces where the luminous emerald glass provides contrast and visual movement.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE
This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
