About the Item
A sculptural Murano glass bowl designed by Alfredo Barbini and hand-crafted in Italy during the 1960s, executed in the refined sommerso technique. The form comprises a vivid translucent ruby-red glass layer over a milky opaline (alabastro) core, fully encased within thick, clear crystal glass. Controlled bullicante air bubbles are suspended throughout the body, a distinctive feature of high-quality mid-century Murano glassmaking.
The bowl is shaped as a softened square with four evenly spaced indentations, giving the piece an organic, tactile presence and strong sculptural identity. Substantial in weight and visually dynamic, it functions equally well as a decorative centerpiece, art glass object, or catchall bowl.
Dimensions:
Width 6.5 in (16.5 cm)
Depth 6.3 in (16 cm)
Height 2.75 in (7 cm)
Condition:
Good vintage condition. Minor surface wear consistent with age and use, along with several small edge nicks to the polished base.
An eye-catching example of mid-century Italian art glass, combining traditional Venetian techniques with the bold formal experimentation associated with mid-century Murano production.

Murano Art Glass Bowl, 1950s
By Dino Martens, Aureliano Toso
Located in Berghuelen, DE
Aureliano Toso (attr.) Murano Art Glass Bowl, 1950s
A Murano glass bowl most probably manufactured by Vetreria Aureliano Toso and designed by Dino Martens circa 1950s. Blue transparent glass with mulitcoloured glass and silver foil inclusions.
