Modernist Hand-Blown Murano Battuto Frosted & Amethyst Glass Centerpiece Bowl

Offered by: High Style Deco

Description
This modernist Murano glass centerpiece bowl, crafted in Italy in the 21st century, is a stunning testament to the artistry and innovation of Murano's renowned glassmaking tradition. Featuring a battuto frosted finish and a striking amethyst-hued glass body, this bowl is a fusion of intricate craftsmanship, modern design, and timeless beauty.

The bowl is distinguished by its battuto finish, an artisanal technique that involves meticulously hand-etching the surface of the glass to create a frosted, hammered effect. This textured finish imbues the piece with a unique tactile quality and a visual depth that interacts beautifully with light. The frosted finish contrasts elegantly with the smooth interior, adding dimension to the design.

The amethyst hue of the hand-blown glass exudes a deep, luxurious richness, serving as both an eye-catching focal point and a versatile accent. The interplay of light with the vibrant color and frosted texture creates a captivating effect, enhancing the bowl's aesthetic appeal.

What makes this piece particularly unique is the graphic abstract motif imbued within the glass during the blowing process. These graphic motif introduces a dynamic, contemporary energy to the design, making the bowl not only a functional object but also a work of art. The abstract pattern complements the modernist design principles that emphasize clean lines, geometric forms, and bold aesthetics.

Perfect as a standalone statement piece or as a functional centerpiece for a table, this Murano bowl exemplifies the blend of age-old Venetian glass techniques with a modern artistic vision, making it a valuable addition to any art glass collection. Styling beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Condition.
