of Mid-Century modern studio glass.

vertically ribbed metal mold or optic
mold then twisted while the blowpipe
expands the glass. This forces the
straight ribs to warp into a spiral pattern.

Cristallo Venezia CC &#34;Uranium
Glass&#34; Murano Sommerso Large-
Scale Centrepiece Bowl
• The exaggerated, horizontally stretched
winged silhouette with curled-horn
handles is a hallmark design strictly tied
to their 1960&#39;s production era. As well, all
Murano factories phased out the use of
uranium oxide powder in their standard
production runs as of 1970.
• This piece does not have a label, but
Can be attributed to Cristallo Venezia
CC for the following reasons:
1) There are identical green-and-amber
Sommerso core bowls with the
outspread silhouette, and the scrolled
horn handles that exist in collector
databases and archive sites like 20th
Century Glass
2) Cristallo Venezia pieces feature a
highly recognizable, heavy multi-pointed
star-shaped or pedestal glass base.
3) The tightly curled, horn-like scroll handles
are a specific design trademark of this
workshop.
4) Your UV light test confirmed a uranium-
doped green glass layer wrapped sharply
alongside a non-reactive amber layer, all
encased in a thick crystal shell. This
complex, multi-layered chemical recipe
aligns exactly with the batch formulas used
by Cristallo Venezia during their prime
1950&#39;s-1960&#39;s.
• This piece is is classified as a Large-
Scale Centerpiece Bowl, because of the
weight and size, and were treated as
premium luxury investments when
bought new in the 1960&#39;s
