About the Item

An elegant Murano Art Deco style pedestal bowl crafted in the distinctive Pulegoso glass technique, characterized by its bubbly, textured surface reminiscent of frothy sea foam. While the design faithfully captures the spirit of the 1930s Art Deco era, this piece likely dates from the 1960s, reflecting Murano’s enduring appreciation for classic forms and traditional techniques. The bowl rests on a solid, heavy glass base that ensures stability and adds to its substantial presence. The foot shows authentic, honest wear, consistent with age and use, which enhances the piece’s vintage charm. Pulegoso glass is a hallmark of Murano craftsmanship, achieved by trapping countless tiny air bubbles within molten glass. This technique creates a unique, textured surface that plays with light and adds visual depth. It showcases the Venetian island’s centuries-old expertise in combining artistry and technical mastery. Murano glassmaking dates back to the 13th century, when Venetian artisans on the island of Murano were granted exclusive rights to glass production, leading to centuries of innovation and mastery. The island became famed worldwide for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and specialized techniques—Pulegoso among them—making Murano glass a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship. This bowl is a timeless decorative object that marries historic technique and mid-century style, perfect for enhancing vintage, Art Deco, or contemporary interiors alike.
