Glass bowl

Translucent purple and pale blue, opaque white and yellow, and colorless.

Uneven vertical rim, with ground top edge; vertical shoulder, slanting in below; convex curving side, tapering downward; applied splayed base ring, with bottom edge ground flat; slightly convex bottom.

On interior of side and bottom, applied small mosaic blobs, arranged in six irregular concentric circles around a central blob on bottom; three different patterns are discernible: one in white with large purple dot at center, another in colorless with yellow spiral, and the third in pale blue with white spiral.

Broken and repaired, with several small holes and cracks; pinprick and a few larger bubbles; dulling, deep pitting, and iridescence, with patches of creamy weatheespeciallycailly on applied blobs.

The bowl was made by slumping the glass over a mold, having first added the mosaic cane slices to the inside surface. Rotary grinding marks on interior and exterior.

This unique purple glass bowl is decorated with applied blobs of millefiori glass.
