A little Venetian theatre for your tabletop. This sculptural Murano bowl pairs a dramatically rippled ruby-red rim with a milky white exterior and a jewel-box interior of colorful glass inclusions shimmering with gold.

Attributed to AVeM, circa 1950s–1960s, its folded silhouette is captivating from every angle. A delightful accent for an interior designer’s layered room, a tableware lover’s collection, or a gift with considerably more personality than another candle.

History of the maker

Founded on Murano in 1932, Arte Vetraria Muranese—AVeM—became known for inventive decorative glass. Its exuberant Bizantino range, commonly called “Tutti Frutti,” combines colorful glass elements with sparkling inclusions. This bowl’s decoration and layered construction are consistent with that tradition.

Ways to use

Let it steal the scene on a dining table, console or bookshelf, or use it to gather wrapped chocolates for holiday entertaining.

Out of the box: place it on a dressing table for silk scarves, display a few beautiful vintage ornaments inside, or leave it empty beneath a lamp and let the glass do the entertaining.
