Mid-Century Modern Woven Metal Wire Sputnik-Style Footed Bowl

This is a vintage woven metal decorative bowl, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century, specifically influenced by the Mid-Century Modern or Sputnik design aesthetic. The piece is constructed from finely woven, thin iron or steel horizontal wires that are supported by thicker vertical radial spokes. The rim of the bowl features twenty-four distinctive wire extension 'points', each capped with a small, spherical brass-colored or gold-toned metal bead, creating a sunburst or crown-like silhouette. The bowl sits on a small integrated base at the bottom center. The metallic finish shows a greyish-silver patina with visible oxidization and surface wear consistent with age, particularly along the finer horizontal threading. The craftsmanship is highly detailed, indicative of handmade or specialty artisan production. The gold-toned beads provide a striking contrast to the darker wire structure, though some finish wear is visible on these elements. No maker's mark is immediately visible in the image, but the design is reminiscent of mid-century Italian or American artisan wirework. Overall, the item is in good vintage condition with a desirable aged patina.
