A striking vintage hand-blown art glass centerpiece bowl featuring flowing layers of cobalt blue, lavender-purple, pale blue, and clear glass finished with a dramatic spiral coil handle.
The shallow freeform bowl has softly irregular hand-shaped edges and an elongated cornucopia or sleigh-like silhouette, while the tightly curled handle gives the piece its wonderfully sculptural mid-century character. Color shifts throughout the glass as the light moves through it, ranging from deep blue to smoky violet and translucent icy blue.
This distinctive style is associated with the American art-glass tradition often referred to by collectors as Sooner Glass or Ozark Art Glass, produced by several related glasshouses in the Oklahoma-Arkansas region. Because this piece is unmarked, a specific manufacturer is not being attributed.
Perfect as a console or coffee-table centerpiece, candy or trinket dish, or simply displayed as a piece of vintage studio art glass.
