1970s, Mid-Century Modern Fake Tortoise Lucite and Brass Italian Round Bowl

About the Item

A Mid-Century Modern fake tortoise lucite and brass round bowl designed and manufactured in Italy in the style of Gabriella Crespi. Brass in original patina gives it a vibrant vintage look. The 1970s was a time of experimentation and innovation in design, and the use of unusual materials and finishes was a popular trend during that era. This round bowl, made in Italy during the 1970s, is a great example of this trend. The bowl is made of solid brass and fake tortoise Lucite, which gives it a unique and distinctive look. The use of Lucite, a type of acrylic resin, was a popular choice during the era for its durability and versatility. The brass accents on the bowl add a touch of elegance and sophistication. The round shape of the bowl is a nod to the mid-century modern aesthetic, which emphasized organic shapes and forms. The combination of the round shape with the unique material and finishes creates a sense of balance and harmony. Italian design is known for its high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, and this bowl is no exception. Overall, this mid-century modern fake tortoise Lucite and brass Italian round bowl is a unique and stylish piece of design history. It would make a great addition to any home or office looking for a retro-inspired decorative accent that captures the spirit of the 1970s.
