Studio Art Glass Scalloped Bowl

This item is an organic-form studio art glass bowl, characterized by its wide, flared mouth and a highly sculptural scalloped or undulating rim. The object appears to be hand-blown, featuring a central pontil point at the base of the vessel, which suggests artisan craftsmanship rather than industrial manufacture. The coloration is complex, displaying a gradient of earthy tones ranging from deep amber and burnt orange to soft sage greens and milky whites, potentially created using a frit or murrine technique to achieve the mottled, textured appearance. The glass has a translucent quality with a polished, glossy interior surface that reflects ambient light. Physically, the piece demonstrates a dynamic, asymmetrical flow common in Mid-Century Modern or contemporary studio glass movements, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The scalloped edges are smoothly finished with a clear or white casing, adding a delicate border to the vibrant body. While no visible maker's marks or signatures are identifiable from this perspective, the quality of the color transitions and the uniformity of the glass thickness point to a high level of technical skill. The item appears to be in good condition with no immediate evidence of chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches, though typical light shelf wear on the base would be expected for a piece of this age and material.
