Wholesale Very beautiful antique pressed-molded glass bowl — Art Deco period, circa 1930–1940

Very beautiful antique bowl in clear pressed-molded glass, dating from the Art Deco period. The basin is animated by long twisted ribs rising from the base and creating lovely light effects. In the center a radiant geometric composition of stylized leaves unfolds, characteristic of the interwar taste for graphic decorations inspired by the plant world. The rim is particularly successful, with a wide raised frieze made up of interlaced rings. This work gives the bowl an elegant silhouette and brings true depth to the decoration, both seen from above and in profile. This type of pressed-molded glassware experienced significant development during the 1930s, allowing richly worked pieces for the table arts in which relief plays with the transparency of the glass. Originally designed as a table bowl, it still retains all its decorative interest today and can be used as a fruit bowl, centerpiece, or simply displayed on its own. Good antique condition, with discreet signs of use visible in the photographs.
