Bubble Glass Bowls For Sale on 1stDibs
There is a range of bubble glass bowls for sale on 1stDibs. The range of distinct bubble glass bowls — often made from glass, murano glass and art glass — can elevate any home. Bubble glass bowls have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 20th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Bubble glass bowls bearing Mid-Century Modern or Art Deco hallmarks are very popular at 1stDibs. Large bubble glass bowls can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller bubble glass bowls available at 1stDibs — each spanning 2.3 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Bubble glass bowls have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Archimede Seguso, Seguso Vetri d'Arte and Fratelli Toso are consistently popular.
How Much are Bubble Glass Bowls?
Bubble glass bowls can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $595, while the lowest priced sells for $150 and the highest can go for as much as $2,800.
Finding the Right Decorative Bowls for You
Vintage, new and antique decorative bowls have been an important part of the home for centuries, although their uses have changed over the years. While functional examples of bowls date back thousands of years, ornamental design on bowls as well as baskets likewise has a rich heritage, from the carved bowls of the Maya to the plaited river-cane baskets of Indigenous people in the Southeast United States.
Decorative objects continue to bring character and art into a space. An outdoor gathering can become a sophisticated garden party with the addition of a few natural-fiber baskets to hold blankets or fruit on a table, as demonstrated in the interior design work by firms such as Alexander Design.
Elsewhere, Richard Haining’s reclaimed wood vases and bowls can express eco-consciousness. Sculptural handmade cast concrete bowls like those made by the Oakland, California–based UMÉ Studio introduce compelling textures to your dining room table.
Minimalist ceramic decorative bowls of varying colors can evoke a feeling of human connectedness through their association with handmade craftsmanship, such as in the rooms envisioned by South African interior designer Kelly Hoppen. And you can elevate any space with ceramic bowls that match the color scheme.
Browse the 1stDibs collection of decorative bowls and explore the endless options available.
Questions About Bubble Glass Bowls
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Glass with bubbles in it is called bubble glass or in Italian, the term is pulegoso. Some bubbles appear in glass because the techniques were not good and bubbles remain, but other bubbles were put there by the glass-maker. Adding bubbles to glass can be very intentional and there are many tools designed to help glass-makers create elaborate and symmetrical patterns. On 1stDibs, find a variety of original glass art from top artists.
- What is controlled bubble glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Controlled bubble glass, also known as Bolle or Bullicante, is glass that’s embedded with bubbles. Particularly popular during the 1950s among Murano glass artists, the bubbles are typically created by rolling the molten glass on a metal surface covered in sharp spikes, poking holes that are then covered with another layer of glass, trapping air in the holes. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Controlled bubble glass pieces.
- What is bubble glass called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Italian term "bullicante" refers to glass that has a deliberate and regular pattern of bubbles inside. It's just one of the many techniques associated with fine Italian glassmaking. On 1stDibs, you'll find a collection of antique and contemporary bubble glass or bullicante from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between ceramic and glass bowls is material. Glass is a material derived from silicates found in rocks and sand. On the other hand, ceramic begins as earthenware that artisans shape and then fire at high temperatures. Shop a large selection of ceramic and glass bowls on 1stDibs.
