Mid-Century Style Ruffled Blue Glass Centerpiece Bowl

This item is a large, decorative centerpiece bowl crafted from translucent cerulean blue glass. The bowl features a prominent organic, 'free-form' ruffled or scalloped rim that mimics a biomorphic flower or wavy movement. Its construction appears to be hand-blown or slumped, given the smooth, fire-polished edges and the fluid nature of the undulating folds. The material is a uniform pale blue with high transparency, allowing for light to pass through and create highlights on the interior curves. In terms of condition, the piece shows visible surface accumulation and particulates (dirt and debris) on the interior well, suggesting it has been stored without protection. While no major cracks are immediately apparent, there is a small marking or potential chip on the far right edge of the rim. The style is highly reminiscent of Mid-Century Modern glasswork, potentially from manufacturers like Blenko, Viking, or Empoli, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The quality is indicated by the consistency of the glass color and the graceful execution of the undulating perimeter, making it a classic example of decorative 20th-century art glass.
