Italian Murano Art Glass Amethyst Aventurine Ruffled Bowl

This Italian Murano art glass amethyst aventurine ruffled bowl has a sculptural mid century form with white cased glass, translucent purple glass, and copper colored sparkling decoration.

The wide fluted rim and pulled white glass sides give it plenty of movement from every angle. It works well for someone building a collection around Italian art glass, biomorphic design, or colorful mid century glass.
