Murano Glass Bowls in Ruby, Gold and Black Amethyst

Set of Two Murano Glass Bowls with Concentric Gold Dust Cased Ruby and Black Amethyst

1950’s Murano glass bowls in dark ruby and black amethyst glass with aventurine in a swirling vortex.  Looks like ruby star dust.  The black amethyst glass appears solid black.

Hand-made of thick cased glass with stylized rims. The images show white reflections interrupting the beautiful gold aventurine swirl. There is no white. These bowls are much more impressive than the images show.

No labels or maker’s marks. An example of these Murano art glass bowls is shown on page 91 of ‘Circa 50’s Glass’ by Leslie Pina, and is stated to be Italian (Murano, Venetian) glass but does not give a maker.

Large, hefty Murano glass bowls. The tri-corner bowl measures 8.25″ long and 8.25″ at widest, 2.75″ tall. The round bowl with shelled edges measuers 7″ wide and 2.75″ tall. Weigh 3 lbs each.

Both in perfect condition with light bottom-wear around the edges of the seat. Beautiful matching pair made from the same batch by the same artist.
