A cohesive and visually striking matched set comprising a ribbed art glass bowl and its corresponding charger plate, executed in a deep amethyst tone with exceptional light response. Both pieces share a continuous horizontal ribbing that wraps the entire form, creating a kinetic optical effect as light moves across the surface.
The defining feature is the integrated structural relationship between bowl and plate—the bowl’s base sits precisely within a recessed center of the charger, creating a unified sculptural profile with a subtle “floating” elevation. The rim of the bowl extends outward in harmony with the plate’s wide, low profile, giving the set a deliberate, architectural presence.
Under 365nm UV light, the glass exhibits a soft internal glow consistent with mid-century colored glass compositions, adding another dimension for collectors attuned to material behavior.
Attribution & Period
Consistent with Italian art glass production, late 1950s to 1960s. The controlled ribbing, amethyst coloration, and integrated serving form align with Murano-adjacent studio production of the period. No visible maker’s mark; attribution remains stylistic.
Dimensions & Weight
Bowl:
Height: approx. 4.25 in
Diameter: approx. 10 in
Charger Plate:
Diameter: approx. 13–14 in
Height: approx. 1–1.5 in
Combined Weight: approx. 2.8 lbs
Condition
Very good condition. No cracks, chips, or repairs observed. Light utensil marks present inside the bowl, consistent with age and prior use. Surface retains strong gloss and clarity. Ribbing remains crisp with no notable wear to edges.
Authenticity & Construction
Hand-formed glass with consistent ribbed texturing achieved during the forming process rather than post-cutting. The uniformity of the ribbing across both pieces confirms intentional paired production. The coloration is intrinsic to the glass, not surface-applied. UV प्रतिक्रिया supports mid-century glass composition.
Placement
Highly effective as a centerpiece or sculptural dining accent. Suitable for display in modern, minimal, or gallery interiors. Can function decoratively or as a serving set for fruit, salads, or composed table settings.
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.
