Mid-Century Murano Style Aventurine Turquoise Art Glass Bowl

This is a decorative hand-blown art glass bowl featuring a distinctive trilobed or 'clamshell' organic form. The piece is crafted from a vibrant translucent turquoise or teal glass encased in a thick, clear glass outer layer (sommerso technique). Notably, the teal glass is infused with 'aventurine' inclusions, which are shimmering metallic copper flakes suspended within the glass to create a glittering effect. The bowl has three undulating, pulled points that give it a fluid, sculptural appearance characteristic of the mid-20th-century Murano aesthetic. The construction involves a heavy wall thickness and a smooth, fire-polished rim. While no specific maker’s mark is visible in the image, the style and craftsmanship are highly indicative of Italian glasswork from Venice or retro-styled studio glass. The item appears to be in very good vintage condition, exhibiting high clarity in the glass with no obvious cracks or chips visible from this angle. Small surface scratches on the base would be expected given its age, typically dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The quality of the copper flake distribution suggests skilled artisanal hand-working.
