Mid-Century Modern Italian Art Glass Spatter Plate

This is a large, circular decorative art glass plate, featuring a visually striking 'burst' or radial pattern reminiscent of a human iris or a celestial explosion. The plate is constructed from thick, hand-blown or slumped glass with a smooth, highly reflective surface. The central well is a solid turquoise or teal hue, from which thousands of fine lines in varying shades of emerald green, gold, and deep amber radiate toward the outer rim. This complex color transition creates a shimmering, dichroic effect when hit by light. The rim is finished with a dark chocolate brown border that provides a strong visual frame. Physically, the piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or deep scratches. The high gloss remains intact, suggesting it was well-cared for as a display piece. The style is classic Mid-Century Modern, likely of Italian origin (Murano) or influenced by makers like Higgins or Sascha Brastoff, dating approximately from the 1960s to 1970s. The craftsmanship is high, evidenced by the precision of the radial splatter and the uniform depth of the glass.
