An absolute showstopper for the discerning modernist collector, this exhibition-scale mid-century Murano glass console bowl makes an elegant, sculptural statement. Measuring a commanding 18 inches in diameter, this large-scale piece was meticulously hand-blown in Murano, Italy, showcasing the signature artistic mastery of the post-war era.

The centerpiece is beautifully formed in a fluidly draped biomorphic "handkerchief" silhouette. It features an exquisite cased construction composed of a clean, opaque white underlayer beneath a soft mint green core, all expertly framed by a striking translucent emerald green rim trail. Striking an artful contrast in the center basin is a dense cluster of fused murrine-intricate glass cane slices displaying concentric bands of deep tortoiseshell brown and fine, combed vertical striations.

The undersurface is finished with a masterfully executed, smooth ground and polished pontil mark, accompanied by an old gallery catalog label (Item #: 6102). Perfectly sized for a prominent console table, dining room centerpiece, or display shelving, this vibrant work of mid-century Italian art glass seamlessly complements both modern and eclectic luxury spaces.
