Description

Here is a magnificent, large and heavy 1950/60's Venetian freeform glass sculpture bowl, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. Most likely made by the Cristallo Venezia CCC glassworks. Very similar pieces with the same star shaped base can be found online with labels that read "Cristallo Venezia, CCC". To see some labelled examples, please see my Pinterest board here. In a stunning combination of red glass cased in blue glass, which is further encased in clear glass, using the Venetian developed sommerso technique.

Size

Measures approx 5 inches tall by 13.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

No chips or cracks, just a slightly rough finish to the tip of one of the pulled out prongs, probably a manufacturing flaw, and a slightly misshaped area to one of the star points on the base, where a chip may have been ground and polished out, or it could have just been made this way, difficult to know for sure and only mentioned for accuracy. All shown in final pictures.
