Large Heavy Threaded Art Glass Bowl — Hand-Blown Clear & Purple, 14.25"
Impressive large hand-blown art glass bowl with applied threaded decoration in clear and amethyst-purple glass. Measuring 14.25 inches in diameter and weighing approximately 16 lbs, this substantial piece features a wide flared rim and a conical body encircled by continuous spirals of fused glass thread, creating both a tactile surface and striking optical movement. The base shows a rough pontil scar, underscoring its artisan hand-crafted origin.
Unsigned and unmarked, this vintage studio glass work reflects the mid-to-late 20th century tradition of bold decorative bowls produced in Murano, American, and European studios. Its commanding scale, vibrant color, and intricate threaded texture make it an ideal centerpiece for display or addition to a curated glass collection.
Condition
In good condition overall, with scratches, shelf wear, and utensil wear visible on the surface, consistent with age and use. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed. The glass remains structurally sound and visually impactful.
