Orange and Red Art Glass Bowl with Floral Medallion

This item is an exquisite art glass bowl, characterized by its vibrant color palette dominated by oranges and reds, with intricate internal designs. The bowl appears to be substantial in size, given the hands holding it, suggesting a diameter likely exceeding 10-12 inches. It is crafted from hand-blown glass, evident from the organic flow of colors and the unique internal patterns. The outer rim transitions from a deep, rich red to a fiery orange near the center, creating a captivating luminous effect when light passes through it. The most prominent feature is a complex, multi-layered floral medallion, possibly a murrine or cane work, situated at the exact center of the bowl's base. This medallion showcases a detailed flower-like pattern with shades of white, light blue, yellow, and a brownish-orange, arranged in concentric petals or swirls that create a sense of depth and movement. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of skill, with the colors seamlessly integrated and the surface appearing smooth and polished. While the image shows hands holding the item, obscuring some potential external details or the precise curvature of the sides, the overall form suggests a shallow, wide bowl.
