Star Shaped Bowl Appraisal

Mid-Century White Opalescent Iridescent Star-Shaped Art Glass Bowl

This is an organic, hand-blown art glass bowl featuring a distinctive six-pointed star or 'splat' silhouette. The piece is constructed from translucent white opalescent glass that has been treated with an iridescent nacreous finish, creating a 'mother-of-pearl' or oil-slick luster that reflects a spectrum of colors including pink, yellow, and blue. The bowl's rim is manipulated with pulled and curled edges, showcasing a high level of Mid-Century craftsmanship similar to the styles produced by firms like Fenton, Murano, or Soffieria Parise. The glass transitions from a solid milky white base to clearer tips at the points. There are no maker's marks visible in the photograph, which is common for such art glass pieces from the 1950s-1970s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratching on the interior surface. The curvilinear design and iridescent coating suggest a Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency aesthetic. The thick, fluid construction indicates it was hand-pulled while the glass was molten, making each point unique in its curvature.
