Mid-Century Modern Textured Glass Bowl

This item is a clear glass bowl featuring a distinct Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, characterized by a rounded square or 'squircle' silhouette. The bowl is constructed from transparent glass and is notable for its intricate textured pattern of fine, etched, or molded lines that radiate from the center towards the rim, intersected by concentric horizontal lines to create a cross-hatched or 'bark-like' effect on the exterior. The interior appears smooth to the touch. The glass has a clear, slightly cool tone and appears to be of substantial thickness at the base, tapering towards a thin, polished rim. A central, circular recessed base provides stability. Condition-wise, the bowl appears to be in good vintage state, with some residue from a rectangular adhesive paper label still visible in the center interior, which could be removed with proper cleaning. There are no immediate signs of major chips or cracks, though typical light surface scratches consistent with age and use may be present upon closer inspection. This style is closely associated with mid-20th-century glassmakers such as Iittala or Kosta Boda, likely dating from the 1960s or 1970s. The craftsmanship is high, evidenced by the uniformity of the linear texture and the clean finishing of the edges.
