This monumental hand-blown glass bowl presents a commanding sculptural presence defined by its wide, shallow basin and elevated pedestal foot. The softly frosted surface diffuses light beautifully, while the subtle green tint and internal bubble inclusions create depth and visual movement throughout the form. Its scale and weight give it a grounded architectural quality, making it far more than a functional vessel. The expansive diameter enhances its role as a centerpiece, offering strong visual impact in both minimalist and layered interiors.
Attribution & Period
Unmarked decorative arts example, consistent with European studio or art glass production of the 1970s. The thick, heavy construction, controlled bubble inclusions, and pedestal-form base align with mid-century European glassmaking traditions, particularly those emphasizing sculptural mass and organic surface texture. No factory mark observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 6.5 “
Width / Diameter: 16”
Depth / Base Diameter: 7”
Weight: 5.506 lbs
Condition
Visible surface wear consistent with age and use, including light scratches and base wear. Notable internal inclusions and bubbles from the manufacturing process. Evidence of structural cracking visible in the glass body and base, stable but present. No repairs observed. Presents well as a decorative object.
Authenticity & Construction
Hand-blown glass construction with thick walls and controlled cooling, evidenced by internal bubbles, striations, and organic variations in thickness. The pedestal foot and basin appear integrally formed, indicative of studio or small-batch production rather than industrial pressing. The weight and density reinforce its artisanal fabrication and sculptural intent.
Placement
Ideal as a large-scale centerpiece on a dining or console table, or as a standalone sculptural object in a minimalist interior. Performs particularly well in spaces with natural light, where the surface texture and inclusions activate visually. Also suitable for use in gallery-style environments or layered modern interiors seeking material contrast.
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.
