A Large Murano Millefiori Glass Bowl C1930

1920 - 1940
Description

This exceptionally large circular exhibition size glass bowl or table centre piece is a rare example from Murano glass which is located on the Italian island of Murano, known worldwide for its fine and colourful glassware.

This remarkable example is hand blown in clear glass infused with thin slices of millefiori canes in various colours, shapes and sizes.

The canes are smaller and more tightly packed at the centre of the bowl, and as the glass has been hand blown and spun to form its shape, the cane inclusions get stretched, making them larger and distorted around the edges, creating an interesting design.

The bowl is raised onto a solid, heavy, clear glass foot with a band of speckled gold inclusions at its centre.

The bowl retains its original red and gold paper label. Circa 1930 – 1950.

This superb, decorative bowl is in excellent original condition with no damage or repair.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Millefiori, meaning a thousand flowers in Italian, is a glassmaking technique that produces distinctive decorative patterns using cross-sections of multi-layered glass rods known as murrine.

Craftsmen fuse hundreds of individual glass cane slices into a cohesive design by placing them into a mould or setting them onto hot blown glass before shaping the final vessel.

Authentic pieces display slight irregularities in cane placement, evidence of hand-finishing such as a pontil mark or ground base, and high-density, clearly defined cane patterns throughout the body.

A millefiori bowl functions as a focal decorative object on a neutral surface, such as a marble console, wood sideboard, or glass display shelf, allowing its varied colours to stand out.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild dish liquid with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals, hot water temperature spikes, or dishwashers that could cause thermal shock.
