Scandinavian Yellow Satin Glass Centerpiece Bowl, Organic Minimalist Form
A wide, low-profile satin glass bowl with a luminous yellow tone and softly diffused surface, creating a refined interplay of light and translucency. The gently tapering form and broad diameter give it a strong sculptural presence, reading as both vessel and architectural object. Its subtle iridescence and matte finish soften reflections, enhancing its atmospheric quality. The restrained silhouette aligns with minimalist interiors while maintaining a distinctly organic character.
Attribution & Period
Scandinavian regional example, 1970s. The form, satin finish, and restrained color palette are consistent with Scandinavian art glass production of the period, particularly studio and factory work emphasizing organic profiles and diffused surfaces. No factory mark observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 2.75 in
Width / Diameter: 14 in
Depth / Base Diameter: 5.25 in
Weight: 2.85 lbs
Condition
Excellent condition. No cracks, chips, or scratches observed. Surface remains clean and consistent with original satin finish. Minor internal textural variation near the base—visible as a ripple effect from the hot glass forming process—documented in close-up imagery and inherent to manufacture.
Authenticity & Construction
Hand-formed glass, likely free-blown and shaped while hot, then finished with a satin acid-etched or sandblasted surface. The subtle ripple near the base reflects the natural movement of molten glass during shaping, supporting an authentic hand-worked process rather than pressed production. The even coloration and soft iridescence indicate controlled finishing typical of higher-quality art glass.
Placement
Ideal as a centerpiece on a dining or cocktail table, or as a sculptural accent on a console, credenza, or open shelving. Works particularly well in minimalist, Scandinavian, and contemporary interiors where material presence and form are prioritized over ornament.
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.
