Weighing in at an impressive, almost five pounds, this striking magnum orb features an expertly executed, mesmerizing pattern of controlled interior air bubbles (bullicante) suspended in flawless, water-clear crystal.
The piece displays exceptional post-war artisanal craftsmanship, highlighted by its distinctive base treatment: a wide, satin-ground flat perimeter ring for perfect stability, centered by a deeply recessed, beautifully fire-polished concave pontil mark. This specific structural finish is highly characteristic of premium mid-20th-century Scandinavian and British art glass houses.
A spectacular, heavy statement piece that captures and refracts light beautifully. Perfect for grounding a stack of art books, anchoring a mid-century office desk, or acting as a centerpiece on a sunlit console table. See less
