Defined by an architectural silhouette and exceptional wall density, this hand-blown opaque black glass bowl offers a striking presence. Its tapered, deep-walled construction catches and refracts light, creating a calm, luminous impact. Designed for discerning interiors, its elevated geometry serves as both a functional vessel and a definitive sculptural statement.
Attribution & Period
Unmarked decorative arts example. Stylistically aligned with mid-century Scandinavian studio production, this piece demonstrates the heavy-walled, artisanal glassmaking techniques characteristic of the era. Its intentional weight and distinct swirl-base finishing confirm hand-blown construction rather than mass-produced pressing.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 5"
Width / Diameter: 6 3/4"
Depth / Base Diameter: 2 1/4"
Weight: 2.42 lbs
Condition
Excellent condition. The piece is free of chips, cracks, or structural repairs. The surfaces are clear and polished. Minor, superficial shelf wear is present only on the underside base, consistent with careful handling.
Authenticity & Construction
This vessel was created using traditional glassblowing techniques. The 1/4-inch wall thickness and artisanal base finish—evidenced by the characteristic swirl pattern—are hallmarks of skilled studio production.
Placement
Perfect as a standalone centerpiece on a console, an accent on a bookshelf, or styled in a tiered arrangement with complementary studio glass.
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.
