The wide, flat bowl body rests on a short, stepped cylindrical foot. As decoration, several thin, concentrically encircling cobalt blue glass threads are fused near the rim; from the inner wall of the bowl, an additional single, thicker cobalt blue thread extends in a curved hook\/swirl shape down to the foot area – a freehand applied element, as is typical for Venetian-inspired glass. Dimensions: Ø 25.5 cm x H 7.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of a naturally yellowish tinted glass body and applied blue thread decoration is a hallmark of \"Vetro di Empoli\" – glass from the Tuscan glassmaking town of Empoli, which has produced and exported table and ornamental glass in the style of historical Venetian glass art (so-called \"Façon de Venise\") worldwide since the early 20th century. An exact identical bowl with a manufacturer's mark could not be documented; no signature is visible on the object itself. The attribution \"Vetro di Empoli \/ Venetian style, Italy, 1960s\/70s\" is therefore based on the glass color and decoration technique compared with documented collector's items. The condition is very good: no chips or cracks found (seller's statement).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA decorative vintage glass object for collectors of Italian post-war glass art – ideal as a fruit or decorative bowl, an eye-catcher on a sideboard or set table in a Mid-Century interior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vetro di Empoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53911682842971,"sku":"VTG-DCO-034","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7641\/9931\/files\/IMG_6596.jpg?v=1787950286","url":"https:\/\/artfillsspace.com\/en\/products\/vetro-di-empoli-glasschale-fussschale-mit-blauem-fadendekor-italien-60er-70er","provider":"ArtFillsSpace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
