About the Item

Sculptural bowl in opaline and applied clear glass. This striking and highly decorative studio art glass bowl is entirely hand-blown and sculpted, with a softly opalescent body surrounded by a series of thick, clear glass applications. Each of these flowing, almost organic scroll-like decorations was individually shaped and fused to the bowl while the glass was still hot, giving the piece its wonderfully free and sculptural character. What makes this bowl particularly attractive is the beautiful contrast between the smooth, gently rounded interior and the expressive relief on the outside. Depending on the light and the angle from which it is viewed, the applied glass reveals subtle iridescent reflections in shades of blue, violet, pink and gold. These changing colours create remarkable depth and movement and make this bowl a joy to look at from every side. The underside is hand-signed “Tamaian”, and the bowl is attributable to Romanian studio glass artist Ioan (Ion) Tamaian, who is known for his expressive sculptural forms and his refined handmade glass techniques. One small tip of an applied glass decoration is missing, as clearly shown in photos 10 and 11. Thanks to the freely composed and organic character of the design, this is not immediately noticeable and it certainly does not detract from the beauty, quality or impressive decorative presence of this unique work of glass art. Mind you, our price for this unique glass bowl even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days. Maximum height x diameter: 5.4 x 13 inches. Diameter edge bowl: 12 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed, and we look forward to serving you (again). To explore all our 1000+ listings, simply click the button labeled 'View All From Seller’
