A beautiful blown glass bowl with a heavy and sculptural bronze napkin style lid.
Dating to the mid 20th century and believed to be of Italian descent, this piece is incredibly tactile and playful in its design. A rare and unique find, the piece displays a sculptural technique of casting bronze to look like folded, draped, or crumpled fabric, a specialty of Italian foundries in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
The bronze lid features feet which fit perfectly to the glass rim beneath.
Sourced in the UK.
This piece measures approximately 19cm tall including the lid, 21cm at its widest point.
