Description
Stunning hand-blown art glass rose bowl featuring a white opalescent base with vibrant blue, red, green, and yellow confetti glass inclusions. The exterior is finished with a rainbow iridescent luster that catches the light beautifully. Its spherical shape and narrow top opening make it perfect for short-stemmed roses or as a standalone decorative orb. Approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
Key Features
Highly decorative iridescent 'oil slick' finish, festive multi-color confetti pattern, hand-blown unique aesthetic, popular mid-size collectible decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a Chinese or high-volume studio import meant for gift shops. The lack of a pontil mark signature or acid-etched stamp suggests it is not a high-end designer piece like Rossi or Tiffany. Confidence in general 'Art Glass' attribution: High.
Flaws to Note
Look for shelf wear or scratches on the bottom surface. Check the ground rim for sharp edges or small nicks. The interior may have hard water stains if previously used for flowers—these can usually be removed with vinegar.
