Murano (?)  Aqua Blue With Gold Flecks 1950's Bowl Pontil Scar & Applied Handle


I believe this to be a 1950's Murano Glass Bowl


There is no original sticker or signature.


Please do your own research


This glass piece features a classic Venetian gondola or seashell shape with beautifully crimped, ruffled edges.


The vibrant aqua-blue color, gold flecks combined with the clear glass handle and base are indicative of the masterful mid-century Italian hand-blown technique that makes Murano art glass highly collectible.


Balotón (Murano technique): If this is an Italian piece (as indicated by the gold-flecked aventurine handle), the specific technique is called Balotón. The artisan presses the hot glass into a metal mold with small pyramid-shaped spikes. This prints a cross-relief mesh pattern onto the exterior, creating a distinct quilted illusion that catches the light brilliantly across the ruffles.


There are no chips, cracks or flea bites. 


Measures approx. 4" tall to top of handle x 7.5" x 8.25"
