This dramatic and sculptural bowl was realized by the fabled French glass making studio- Art Vannes- circa 1950. It features raised sides and open ends with curvilinear forms throughout lending it the appearance of flowing silk fabric. With its graphic, graceful aesthetic, this piece would be a winning addition in any interior space. While it is a perfectly utilitarian object- ideal for presenting any number of items including flowers floating in water or candy- it is also a work of art in its own right that would be stunning atop an etagere or occasional table. It is signed "Vannes Cristal" on the bottom and is in excellent condition.
