"Starfish" bowl by Murano – Fuchsia Pink & Amber – Circa 1960

This masterful piece is a vibrant testament to the golden age of Venetian design. With its fluid lines and six elongated arms, this bowl recalls the work of the Galliano Ferro workshop, renowned for revolutionising organic forms in the 1960s. The art of gradient: The technique used here demonstrates a perfect mastery of melting temperatures. The transition from crystalline orange to intense fuchsia pink creates a luminous halo effect that changes depending on the angle of view. This aesthetic strongly recalls the creations of Flavio Poli (Seguso) due to its sculptural elegance. Proof of origin: Rarely preserved, the two period labels are still present under the wing of the bowl. They confirm not only its provenance (Murano, Italy) but especially its status as a piece of art executed entirely by hand, far from later industrial productions. More than just a trinket dish, it is a 37 cm wide sculpture that captures the essence of Italian Mid-Century Modern style. Its weight of 1.4 kg and its star-shaped base with old-fashioned ground pontil are guarantees of a collectible piece. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
