Purple Murano art glass bowl bullicante, Italy, 1970s, vintage

A substantial decorative bowl made of thick art glass, originating from Italy in the 1970s. The piece is crafted from layered, mass-colored glass in a deep amethyst-purple hue, encased within a thick layer of clear glass. It was shaped by hand, featuring an organic, undulating rim. The glass contains a pattern of uniform air bubbles, a hallmark of the traditional Venetian *bullicante* technique. The thick walls refract light beautifully, giving the object a solid, substantial feel. Its compact form makes it ideal as a dish for jewelry or small trinkets, an ashtray, or simply as a striking decorative accent for mid-century modern or retro-style interiors.
