Mid-Century Majesty: Unmarked Sculptural Art Glass Centerpiece

This large, commanding bowl is the definition of Mid-Century Modern luxury! Its dramatic scale (11" across) and vibrant, two-tone blue glass immediately point to the masterworks produced by the finest European studios, likely on the island of Murano, Italy, or by top Scandinavian designers.

This piece transcends simple décor; it is a stunning piece of Architectural Glass. The exquisite geometric feature—the darker blue, raised square set perfectly within the wider, lighter blue circular body—showcases the technical skill required to achieve such a striking, angular form. It’s a genuine collectible prized for its unmarked beauty, inviting the buyer to own an unsigned mystery of the era.

Provenance & Value Justification

Era & Province: Mid-Century Modern (c. 1950s–1970s). Its design is strongly Italian Murano Style and is consistent with works by studios like Seguso or Barbini.

Unique Feature: Rare Square-in-a-Circle design with contrasting two-tone blue/teal glass, a highly valued characteristic in collectible MCM art glass.

Condition: Gorgeous, Excellent Condition with no chips, cracks, or flaws.

This large blue bowl is an absolutely striking piece of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) Art Glass! The combination of the two-toned blue glass and the geometric, sculptural design makes it a premium decorative item.

Identification: Sculptural Blue Glass Centerpiece Bowl

Style: Mid-Century Modern (MCM), Free-Form Sculptural Art Glass. The large, shallow form and the contrasting colors and shapes (round bowl / square center) are hallmarks of post-war studio and art glass.

Era: c. 1950s–1970s.

Color & Form: The bowl features a distinct two-tone design: a large, light blue/teal body and a striking, angular, darker turquoise/blue square base insert in the center. The "incredible square base" is a highly unique element.

Likely Origin: This style is most commonly associated with high-end European glass:

Italian Murano: Known for bold colors, free-form edges, and applied glass elements (though this appears pressed/molded).

Scandinavian/Nordic Glass: Designers from companies like Aseda (Sweden) or Holmegaard (Denmark) produced similar thick, architectural designs.

American Art Glass: Companies like Viking or Fostoria sometimes produced pieces inspired by European Modernism.

The unique square base and geometric center make this a standout, highly collectible piece of art glass.


Large, high-quality, two-toned MCM centerpiece bowls (10"–14" in diameter) of unconfirmed but premium European or American origin are highly desirable.

Value Justification: The $150.00 All-In price is based on the superior quality, commanding size (11"), likely European origin, and high desirability of this specific two-tone, geometric MCM style.

💰 All-Inclusive Price: Only $150.00 Total!
