Hand-Blown Green Glass Footed Bowl, Polished Pontil, Mid-20th C.
A substantial hand-blown green glass footed bowl, likely crafted in Italy during the mid-20th century. The piece features a polished pontil and rich green coloration, with subtle bubbles and striations that highlight its artisanal origin. Its rounded body rests on a flared foot, giving the vessel both sculptural presence and functional stability. Weighing 6 lbs, it demonstrates excellent craftsmanship and impressive scale.
This unsigned example is consistent with traditional European studio glass from the era, and would make a dramatic centerpiece or display piece. Its timeless form and saturated color allow it to complement both contemporary and classic interiors, while offering collectors a strong representation of mid-century art glass.
Condition:
Good condition overall, with visible utensil wear and surface scratches inside the bowl. No chips or cracks observed. Typical air bubbles and tool marks from the hand-blown process add to its authenticity.

Height: 8.5 in.
Diameter: 10.75 in.
