Hand-Blown Red Murano Bullicante Glass Bowl, 5" Diameter

A Murano Bullicante bowl is a type of glass bowl crafted on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. It is characterized by its unique decorative technique called "bullicante," which involves trapping air bubbles within the glass to create a distinctive pattern or texture. The bowl is hand-blown and typically features a smooth, rounded shape with a pronounced bullicante design on the surface. The bullicante technique is achieved by applying heat to the glass and then quickly cooling it, causing the air bubbles to become trapped within the glass layers. The resulting pattern can range from subtle, scattered bubbles to more dense and pronounced formations. The effect adds depth and visual interest to the bowl, creating a captivating play of light and texture. Murano Bullicante bowls are highly regarded for their craftsmanship, artistic expression, and the rich history of glassmaking on the island of Murano. They are often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Murano glass, as they represent the skill and creativity of the glass artisans from this renowned glassmaking region.
