#0304 Vintage art glass ruffled bowl with red and amber hues 6.5” x 3”

No chips or cracks Art glass, characterized by its artistic merit and unique designs, has been produced in various centers around the world for centuries. These pieces are often celebrated for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and exceptional craftsmanship. Artisans employ diverse techniques to create visually stunning objects that blur the line between functional ware and fine art.

This particular bowl, with its organic, ruffled form and striking color gradient, exemplifies the mid-20th century art glass aesthetic. Such pieces were often created using techniques like 'sommerso' (layered colors) or 'millefiori' (thousand flowers), though the visible white swirls suggest a different, yet equally skilled, application of glassblowing artistry. The asymmetrical, flowing shape and the rich, translucent colors are characteristic of the period's artistic trends, where functional objects were elevated to works of art.
