Cobalt Glass Bowls For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are several options of cobalt glass bowls available for sale. The range of distinct cobalt glass bowls — often made from glass, murano glass and art glass — can elevate any home. Cobalt glass bowls have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Mid-Century Modern, Neoclassical and Scandinavian Modern cobalt glass bowls are consistently popular styles. If space is limited, there are small cobalt glass bowls measuring 4.25 inches across. Many cobalt glass bowls are appealing in their simplicity, but Barovier&Toso, Ercole Barovier and Cenedese produced popular cobalt glass bowls that are worth a look.

Cobalt glass bowls can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $575, while the lowest priced sells for $135 and the highest can go for as much as $59,500.

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 Cobalt Glass Bowls
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, not all blue glass is cobalt glass. Only those made with cobalt oxide can be called cobalt. In some pieces, the presence of copper oxide accounts for the color, however, cobalt glass is much more common. You'll find a collection of cobalt glass on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    If your glass has a blue tint to it, it is likely cobalt blue glass. There are three shades of cobalt glass; dark cobalt, which has a slight purplish hue, light or cornflower blue and medium blue. To verify its authenticity, check with an appraiser. You can also shop a collection of cobalt blue glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

European cobalt glass may date back to as early as the 15th century. Shop a collection of antique cobalt glass on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, cobalt oxide makes glass blue. Different amounts of cobalt can be used to create more saturated levels of blue or to simply neutralize yellow for a more clear finish. Copper oxide can also be used to create a blue tinted glass. Shop a collection of cobalt glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The 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.
