Decorative Bowl in Blue "Bullicante" Murano Glass, Vintage Collectible

About the Item

Vintage Decorative Object - Collectible Glass Bowl - Bullicante Murano Glass Vintage bowl in bright blue Sommerso Murano glass. Crafted in the style of Seguso, with tiny included air bubbles, in the technique known as "Bullicante", the piece is extremely attractive and highly decorative. More precisely the Bullicante technique is applied to very thick glass. It consists of overlaying several layers of air bubbles in a grid pattern within the vitreous wall. This mass is then pulled with the blowpipe which creates tiny depressions imprinted in a regular pattern on its surface. This process is repeated several times to reveal several layers of bubbles. Very well preserved, showing only the expectable signs of age near the base, this bowl will bring a wonderful accent to your special interior. Use it to style a coffee table or bookshelf, or place it on your nightstand as a valet tray!
