Studio Art Glass Bowl with Spiral Design

This item is a decorative studio art glass bowl, likely handcrafted, featuring an organic, slightly asymmetrical shell-like shape. The primary construction material is thick, mouth-blown glass. The central design motif is a complex, multicolored spiral swirl radiating from the center, utilizing a palette of deep cobalt blue, violet, turquoise, and hints of yellow and pink. These colors are set against an opaque white background that provides high contrast. The outer rim is finished with a thin, dark blue glass lip wrap, a hallmark of skilled glassblowing. The piece exhibits a high level of craftsmanship, particularly in the fluid integration of the fused colors and the feathered 'pulled' glass technique that creates a sense of movement. From a condition standpoint, the piece appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible chips, cracks, or surface scratches; the glass retains a high gloss and transparency where intended. While a specific maker's mark is not visible in the provided image, the style aligns with late 20th-century or early 21st-century American or Murano glass traditions, showcasing a sophisticated use of internal decorative elements called 'frit' or 'cane' work to achieve the painterly effect inside the vessel.
