About the Item
Beautiful, elegant petite Murano pinched cased clam shell glass bowl in good vintage condition. This piece is hand-blown Murano art glass, showcasing a vibrant orange interior and a white exterior. Measuring approximately 4.5"H x 7.75"L x 5"W, this is a must have for Murano fans! #9028
This bowl is known by various names, including "Pinched Cased Glass Bowl", "Folded", "Handkerchief" and "Clam Bowl" due to its shape and is a common motif in Murano and other art glass from that era, showcasing the fluidity and malleability of hot glass during the blowing process. It is often considered a decorative piece, serving as a centerpiece or catch-all bowl. It features distinctive folded or pinched sides, characteristic of hand-blown or cased art glass from the mid-century. The bright orange color with a white or clear cased exterior is a common color scheme in MCM Murano glass.
These decorative bowls were popular as centerpieces, ashtrays, catch-all bowls or simply as artistic accents in homes during the mid-century period. MCM Modern art glass, including folded and cased pieces like this, remains a sought-after highly collectible item today.
