About the Item

Amber Murano glass decorative catchall bowl by Galliano Ferro, hand-blown in Italy during the 1960s, with a heavy square form and distinctive dimpled base. Formed from thick translucent amber glass, the bowl has softly rounded corners and substantial walls that refract and diffuse light through the sculptural form. Its warm amber color varies in intensity according to the angle of view, emphasizing the considerable depth and clarity of the glass. The exterior base is particularly distinctive, with eight carefully positioned indented dimples arranged around a polished square foot. Viewed from above or below, these depressions create a series of optical distortions through the thick glass, giving the otherwise restrained square bowl a strong sense of depth and movement. Hand-blown on Murano by Galliano Ferro, the piece reflects the experimental approach to form and optical decoration found in postwar Italian glass. Its substantial proportions and geometric construction allow it to function as both a decorative Murano glass bowl and a practical catchall or vide-poche. Suitable for use on a coffee table, console, desk, or sideboard, the bowl has a compact yet sculptural presence and remains visually engaging from every angle. **Condition** Good vintage condition, consistent with age and use. There are a few fine surface scratches, light scuffs, a deeper scratch to the rim, and expected wear to the polished base. These signs of age are minor and do not detract from the overall presentation or visual impact of the piece. **Dimensions** Height: 7 cm / 2.76 in. Width: 15 cm / 5.91 in. Depth: 15 cm / 5.91 in.

Mid-Century Galliano Ferro Amber Murano Glass Bullicante Decorative Bowl, 1960s

Spectacular mid-century decorative bowl in amber Murano glass with air bubbles (bullicante). This wonderful piece was produced in Italy in the 1960s and is attributed to Galliano Ferro. This piece is unique for the elegant mix of peculiar "bullicante" technique to shape Murano glass: the "bullicante" effect is one of the most famous glass working techniques and is seen quite often around the island of Murano. This particular effect is achieved by inserting a piece of molten glass inside a metal mold with spikes, very similar to the texture of a pineapple. These spikes make small holes in the surface creating a pattern all around the piece of glass. After it has been allowed to cool for a few moments, the whole piece is immersed again in the molten glass. This second layer completely covers the first. However, thanks to the thick consistency of the glass, the holes previously impressed on the first layer are not covered, thus causing air to be trapped between the two layers of glass. This process can be repeated several times, creating a pattern as complicated as the master glassmaker wishes. This technique not only gives a sense of depth to the whole object but also an incomparable decorative effect, famous for its originality. This decorative piece can also be used as an ashtray and spruce up a mid-century style living room. Measurements (cm): Diameter - 14 Height - 11 Galliano Ferro formed his own glass factory in 1955 after leaving Arte Vetraria Muranese, or AVeM (A.Ve.M.), which he co-founded in 1932. Designers at Galliano Ferro include his son Giorgio Ferro, Ezio Rizzetto, Fulvio Bianconi and Vinicio Vianello. Giorgio Ferro became head of the company in 1972. British importers Jaffe Rose...
