Mid-Century Modern Blue Heart-Shaped Art Glass Compote

This appears to be a Mid-Century Modern art glass centerpiece bowl or compote, crafted from vibrant translucent blue glass. The item features a distinct heart-shaped or spade-shaped bowl, characterized by its wide, flaring top and a pointed apex at the top center. The blue color varies slightly in intensity, suggesting a hand-blown or artisan manufacturing process where variations are inherent. The glass itself exhibits some internal swirling or streaking, adding to its artisanal appeal, which is characteristic of certain art glass techniques like sommerso or controlled bubbles and color variations. The bowl is supported by a dark blue, possibly black or very dark cobalt, cylindrical stem that connects to a spherical or orb-like base of the same blue hue as the bowl. The surface of the glass appears smooth and glossy, with visible reflections indicating its polished finish. There are some minor surface irregularities and what appear to be light scuffs or dust, especially noticeable around the edges and within the bowl, but no obvious cracks or chips are discernible from the image. The unique shape and bold color are indicative of designs popular in the mid-20th century, typically associated with Italian (e.g., Murano) or Scandinavian glassmakers. The craftsmanship appears good, with a seamless connection between the elements, though specific maker's marks are not visible.
