striking piece of vintage art glass, this sculptural freeform bowl features a rich ruby-red body with warm amber tones and subtle green highlights through the thick cased glass. The flowing, organic rim and heavy controlled form are characteristic of mid-century European studio production, designed as a statement centrepiece rather than a utility bowl.
The colour layering and weight give it that unmistakable sommerso-style look — where colour appears suspended within clear glass — catching the light beautifully from every angle. A classic example of 1960s–70s decorative glass, equally at home in a modern interior or alongside other retro pieces.
