This substantial opaque black glass bowl features an architectural, minimalist silhouette defined by its generous 1/4-inch wall thickness and organic, weighted form. Its pure transparency allows for dramatic light refraction, creating a focal point that is both sculptural and serene. The piece’s clean geometry and impressive heft suggest a refined, intentional design language, making it a sophisticated addition to a contemporary or mid-century interior.
Attribution & Period
Unmarked decorative arts example. Stylistically aligned with mid-century Scandinavian studio glass, this piece exhibits the heavy-walled, artisanal production methods characteristic of the period. Construction techniques, specifically the weighted base and swirling base finish, indicate a hand-blown origin rather than mass-market pressed manufacturing.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Excellent condition. The glass is free of chips, cracks, or structural repairs. Surfaces are clear and vibrant, with expected, minor shelf wear present only on the underside base.
Authenticity & Construction
This is a hand-blown glass vessel. The weight and internal characteristics—specifically the distinct swirl patterns at the base—confirm artisanal manufacturing rather than machine-molding. The thickness of the glass contributes to its high-quality feel and durability.
Placement
Ideal for high-end minimalist styling, a central statement on a dining table, or as a structural element in a curated interior vignette.
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.
