About the Item

A rare and beautifully sculptural Murano hand-blown opalescent glass bowl in an elegant shell or clam form, defined by its fluid, biomorphic silhouette and softly folded edges. This mid century piece features a delicate gradient of cool pale blue transitioning into warm amber tones, achieved through refined cased glass techniques. The opaline quality allows the glass to interact dramatically with light—appearing milky and serene in ambient settings, while glowing with rich golden hues when placed against direct sunlight. Designed with both form and versatility in mind, this piece can be styled in two ways: laid down as a sculptural bowl or catchall, perfect for jewelry and small objects, or positioned upright as a unique vase for delicate floral arrangements. Its organic, asymmetrical shape evokes natural marine forms, making it a standout decorative object that bridges function and art. Characteristic of mid-20th century Murano glass, this piece aligns with Space Age, organic modern, and modernist design aesthetics. A rare find, ideal for collectors and those seeking a luminous, sculptural accent. In excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Check our listings for more Murano glass and vintage lighting pieces. All our orders are carefully packed and shipped within 24–48 hours.
