Large Italian Tortoise Murano Art Glass Bowl 1970s
About the Item
This impressive vintage Murano art glass bowl showcases a striking 14-inch tortoise or leopard pattern, exuding timeless elegance. Ideal for serving or display, this Italian blown art glass piece dates back to the 1970s or early 1980s and likely originates from Empoli, near Florence, known for its modern glassware.
Dimensions: 14 inches in diameter x 2.5 inches in height. Bring sophistication to any table with this stunning decorative fruit bowl in rich brown tones, evoking luxury and exoticism. Its amber tortoiseshell pattern complements various design styles seamlessly.
This beautiful decorative piece reflects a classic design with enduring appeal. Notably, it carries no identifying marks.
Originating from Italy in the 1970s-80s, this bowl features the Tartaruga (tortoise) pattern, boasting deep topaz and amber hues reminiscent of popular 19th-century European turtle shell items. The technique involves two layers of hand-blown glass infused with light and dark brown elements.
The tortoiseshell art glass bowl was first patented in London in 1880 by Francis Pohl and S.A. Whitman. Franz Pohl, associated with the Josephinenhütte glassworks in the Sudeten mountains, further developed the tortoise pattern, revolutionizing glassmaking possibilities of the time. His innovative design garnered widespread acclaim and was widely imitated for years thereafter.
