Mid-Century Murano Art Glass Splash Bowl

This is a hand-blown Murano art glass decorative bowl, specifically designed in a 'splash' or 'crown' motif with a dramatic, scalloped rim featuring pulled points. The piece exhibits a sophisticated monochrome color palette, utilizing a white opaline or lattimo base glass that is accented with a central dark band—likely cobalt or black—worked into a rhythmic, undulating mountain-peak or zigzag pattern. The craftsmanship demonstrates classic Venetian glassblowing techniques from the mid-20th century, where hot glass was pulled into its final jagged form while molten. While the specific workshop is not identifiable by the silhouette alone, the presence of a 'Murano' sticker confirms its origin from the Venetian island of Murano, Italy, likely dating between the 1950s and 1970s. The bowl appears to stand approximately 4 to 6 inches tall with a substantial, clear glass weight toward the base for stability. The condition from the image appears good with no visible chips or significant fractures, though light surface scratches consistent with age-related wear on the bottom would be expected upon closer physical inspection. The clarity and crispness of the interior decoration indicate high-quality artisanal production rather than mass-produced imitation glass.
