Vintage ITALIAN GLASS Pedestal Bowl Hand Blown Orange Gold and Amber

This impressive mid-century Italian pedestal bowl is tall, wide and gorgeous. The bowl is 15 inches across, thick orange/honey gold glass speckled with amber and swirled into a fascinating vortex in the center. A large fluted crystal clear ball connects it to the solid orange glass base. The lightly smoothed pontil scar on the bottom of the base attests to the handcrafted creation of this fabulous compote. Tiny bubbles are scattered throughout the piece. There are no identifying marks or labels as to the maker, a clearly expert glassblower. The colors of orange and gold are iconic 1960's decor.

Measuring 7 inches tall on a 5 inch diameter round base, it weighs 5 pounds. It is in absolutely excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or scratches. For a coffee table, credenza or other furniture piece that needs a dramatic focal point, this organically-shaped art glass pedestal bowl is the perfect piece.
