A striking sculptural art glass bowl defined by its fluid, ruffled rim and softly graduated amethyst edge. The organic, undulating form creates continuous movement, allowing light to refract through the clear body with exceptional clarity and depth. Subtle internal bubbles animate the surface, reinforcing its hand-worked character while adding visual texture. Elevated on a clean, concave base, the piece presents as both airy and substantial, functioning as a refined decorative focal point.
Attribution & Period
Unmarked Scandinavian art glass example, circa early 1970s. The controlled freeform shaping, softly graduated amethyst rim, and balanced low-profile silhouette are consistent with Nordic glass production transitioning into more expressive, organic forms of the period. The cleanly ground and polished concave base, combined with the scale and distribution of controlled bubble inclusions, aligns with late factory art glass techniques seen in Swedish and Finnish production of the early 1970s. No factory mark observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Very good overall condition. No observed chips, cracks, or repairs. Presence of internal bubbles and minor inclusions inherent to hand-blown glass. Base is cleanly ground, polished, and concave, with light surface wear consistent with age and handling.
Authenticity & Construction
Hand-blown glass with a free-formed, tooled rim and applied amethyst-toned edge. The piece was shaped hot and finished with a ground and polished pontil, indicating traditional art glass production techniques. Variations in thickness and the presence of controlled bubbles further support skilled hand fabrication.
Placement
Ideal as a sculptural centerpiece on a dining or cocktail table, or as a refined accent on a console or credenza. Works particularly well in modern, Scandinavian, or minimalist interiors where form, light, and material presence 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.
