Murano Glass Mid-20th Century Microbial Bowl

Murano Glass Microbial Bowl. Copper metallic encased decor resembles micro-organisms.

Featuring organic styling from Italy’s mid 20th century modernism era. Hand blown encased glass. Inner layer is ‘lattimo’ (milk or white in Italian) and outer layer is ‘cristallo’ (clear). Cased between the layers is copper ‘aventurine’, real metallic particles arranged to form microbial-like decor.

This lovely and interesting art glass bowl can be used as a service bowl, candle holder (always remove new metal parts on contemporary candles before using with vintage glass), catch-all, candy bowl, etc.
The aventurine glitters and glows, but does not show well in images because of the metal particle reflections.

Measures 8.25″ round and 1.75″ deep. Weighs 1.75 lbs.
