Beautiful vintage Silver Foil (Foglia d'Argento) Murano-style handblown art glass bowl, possibly dating to the 1950s–1960s and attributed to Barovier & Toso. This striking piece features rich emerald green glass with dense, shimmering silver-colored foil inclusions throughout. The thick, sculptural construction creates dramatic folds and an irregular ruffled rim, giving the bowl a distinctive organic, freeform appearance characteristic of mid-century Italian art glass design.
The underside features a rough, unpolished pontil scar, consistent with traditional handblown glassmaking techniques. Measuring approximately 5.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches tall, this substantial decorative bowl displays beautifully as a standalone sculptural accent, collectible art glass piece, or vintage decorative dish. Its rich green color and metallic detailing make it particularly appealing for mid-century modern, retro, and contemporary interiors.
Condition: Preowned vintage condition with surface marks consistent with age and handling. Please examine all photographs carefully for the condition of the rim, body, and underside. No maker's signature has been identified. The Barovier & Toso attribution and 1950s–1960s dating are based on stylistic similarities to cataloged Murano glass examples and have not been independently authenticated.
