A bold and fluid sculptural art glass bowl distinguished by its extended amethyst-toned rim that flows deeper into the clear body. The form presents a dynamic, asymmetrical silhouette with pronounced movement, allowing light to travel through the glass and amplify its depth and clarity. The slightly heavier mass enhances its presence, giving the piece a grounded, architectural quality while maintaining visual softness. Subtle internal bubbles and the elongated color transition contribute to a richly layered, luminous effect.
Polish art glass example, circa early 1970s. Retaining its original “Handmade in Poland” label, the piece aligns with Eastern European art glass production of the period, where Scandinavian influence translated into more expressive, sculptural forms. The extended amethyst coloration, freeform shaping, and solid, flat-polished base are consistent with Polish factory and studio glass techniques of the early 1970s. Attribution is supported by the original label and visual characteristics.
Height: 5.125 inches
Width / Diameter: 11.5 inches
Depth / Base Diameter: 3.25 inches
Weight: 3.38 lbs
Very good overall condition. No observed chips, cracks, or repairs. Presence of a few small internal bubbles inherent to hand-blown glass. Base is cleanly cut and flat-polished with minor surface scratches consistent with age and use. Original label present.
Hand-blown glass with a free-formed, tooled rim and extended amethyst-toned edge worked into the body while hot. The heavier weight and solid base indicate a substantial gather and controlled shaping process. The flat, polished base and retained label support mid-century Polish factory production methods with strong studio influence.
Ideal as a sculptural centerpiece on a dining or cocktail table, or as a statement object on a console or credenza. Particularly effective in modern, minimalist, or curated interiors where its weight, color transition, and organic form can be fully appreciated.
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.
