Italian Amethyst Art Glass Bowl, Sculptural Elevated Claw Base Form

US$525.00

A refined and architecturally composed art glass bowl defined by its softly flared silhouette and elevated claw-form base. The translucent amethyst-toned glass captures and diffuses light with a subtle internal glow, shifting from soft lavender to deeper plum at the base. The elevated structure introduces negative space beneath the vessel, giving the piece a sculptural, almost floating presence. Under UV light, the glass exhibits a faint fluorescence, adding an additional layer of visual intrigue. The overall composition is restrained yet materially expressive, making it highly effective as a decorative focal object.

Attribution & Period

Consistent with Italian art glass production, 1960s. The elevated base construction, smooth cased glass, and controlled coloration align with mid-century Italian decorative glass forms. No factory mark observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.

Dimensions & Weight

  • Height: 3 in

  • Width / Diameter: 5 in

  • Depth / Base Diameter: 6.5 in

  • Weight: 0.68 lbs

Condition

Excellent condition. No cracks, chips, or repairs observed. No visible scratches to the body or rim. Surface remains clean and well-preserved. Light internal variations and tonal shifts are inherent to the glassmaking process. Base shows minimal to no wear.

Authenticity & Construction

Hand-blown art glass formed with a continuous body transitioning into an applied elevated base structure. The smooth, uniform coloration suggests controlled batch coloring rather than surface treatment. The integration of the base with the vessel indicates studio production rather than mass-molded construction. Subtle UV प्रतिक्रिया confirms glass composition consistent with mid-century decorative wares.

Placement

Ideal as a sculptural centerpiece on a console, cocktail table, or pedestal display. Works particularly well in modern, minimalist, or gallery-style interiors where negative space and material clarity are emphasized.

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.
