Clear Glass Sphere with Internal Bubbles on a Pedestal Base

This item is a decorative clear glass sphere, approximately medium to large in size, supported by a distinct clear glass pedestal base. The spherical body is entirely filled with a multitude of small, irregularly sized air bubbles, giving it a effervescent or 'controlled-bubble' appearance sometimes referred to as 'controlled bubble' or 'bullseye' glass technique. These bubbles are distributed throughout the interior of the sphere, creating a visually dynamic effect that can refract and reflect light. The glass itself appears to be clear, possibly with a very slight yellowish or amber tint, which could be an inherent quality of the glass composition or a perception due to ambient lighting. The surface of the sphere reflects its surroundings, including what appears to be a ceiling fan and windows, indicating its polished and smooth exterior. The base is also made of clear glass, featuring a ribbed or fluted design around its circumference, providing stability and a classical aesthetic. No visible manufacturing marks, signatures, or stamps are discernible from the provided image. The overall condition appears to be good with a clean, polished surface, though minor dust specks are visible on parts of the wider reflective surface behind it, likely on a mirror or glass enclosure. There are no immediately obvious chips, cracks, or repairs. This type of decorative glass artwork typically became popular in the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1950s onwards, and continues to be produced today, suggesting a possible vintage to modern age. Its craftsmanship, characterized by the controlled bubble technique, indicates intentional design and production, likely for ornamental purposes in home decor.
