Beautiful mid-century crystal 'splash' or 'anemone' centerpiece bowl, made by the renowned French glassblowing studio Bayel Cristallerie (1950s).
This iconic object is a masterpiece of mouth-blown French crystal. The organic, undulating shapes mimic splashing water or a sea anemone. The jagged, upright points are hand-decorated with a thick, lustrous layer of gold (18-karat gold leaf), creating a beautiful contrast with the clear crystal.
The bowl is in good condition; some weathering of the gold leaf is visible.
Dimensions: 21cm x 13cm x 12cm.
The object can be picked up in the center of Rotterdam.
