Murano Glass Bowl in Deep Amethyst

This hand-blown Murano glass bowl is distinguished by its substantial weight, rounded profile, and rich amethyst coloration that deepens toward the center. The form is generous and grounded, with a thick, sculpted rim that catches and refracts light, creating subtle tonal shifts from plum to near-black depending on angle and illumination.

The glasswork is confident and intentional, with a smooth, polished surface and a depth of color that speaks to traditional Murano techniques. The bowl’s low, wide silhouette gives it a strong visual presence while remaining restrained and highly usable, functioning as both an art object and a functional decorative piece.

This is a classic Murano form elevated by its saturation and clarity, suited to interiors that value material richness and sculptural simplicity.
