Art glass Ruffled Dish or Bowl with Applied Handle

Time period: Mid=20th century - 1950s-1970s

This item is a decorative art glass dish or bowl, characterized by its ruffled or crimped edge and an applied handle. The style, particularly the use of vibrant, contrasting colors (red/cranberry and amber/yellow) and the organic, free-form shape, is highly reminiscent of mid-20th century art glass, often associated with Murano glass form Italy or similar studio glass movements. This piece were popular as decorative accents, candy dishes, or small serving bowls. The technique of applying a contrasting color handle to a main body of glass was a common design element in this period, aiming to create visual interest and a sense of handcrafted artistry.
