Description :

An exceptional, finely crafted studio art glass centerpiece bowl featuring a mesmerizing psychedelic spiral vortex design. The interior core displays an intricate "pulled feather" and multi-colored pinwheel cane configuration, showcasing vibrant ribbons of cobalt blue, amethyst purple, magenta, and iridescent copper-gold tones.

The complex central cane work is flawlessly encased in a heavy, thick-walled solid crystal sommerso layer, creating a dramatic optical illusion of depth and movement when viewed from different angles. The bowl features a striking freeform, organic rim and slopes into a perfectly centered underside spiral.

  • Production Technique: Hand-blown studio glass (Festonato / Sommerso style)
  • Base Finish: Distinctive, highly polished ground pontil mark verifying entirely hand-crafted artisan production.
  • Patterning: Multi-layered tightly pulled ribbon canes drawn into a central whirlpool vortex.
  • Weight/Build: Substantial, heavy-walled art glass construction.
  • 3” Tall 6” across
