Vintage Transylvania Blown Glass Bowl Hand Painted Bohemian Signed 4.5"

Description: Vintage Romanian Blown Glass Bowl Hand Painted Bohemian Signed 4.5"This glass bowl measures approximately 4 5/8" diameter x 2 7/8" high and weighs 8oz. Do not put in microwave or in dishwasher - Clean by hand in lukewarm water, no abrasives. This is at least 22 years old but was never used. Please see the provenance explanation below.This style of glass art was a manifest against conformism to symmetry and perfection in the plastic arts. As such, it flaunted the use of complete free form and imperfect details as testimony to the artist's freedom of expression, and to the uniqueness and imperfection of hand crafted work as it reflects the brutalism of naturally organic shapes.It has its own measure of charm and beauty - and certainly, uniqueness. For that reason, it could make a special gift.There is only another similar piece in our store but we do have a few others in different styles.**** About the provenance of this item ****This item is part of a group of hand made textiles, hand carved wood, hand blown glass, and hand made ceramics that was acquired about 23 years ago from Romania (most from the Transylvania region) for a store our family operated in Ohio. Eventually, the store closed, and all remaining merchandise ended up boxed up in storage in a relative's climate controlled warehouse, until our eBay store received them just recently. While we may have more than just one piece of a certain style, for the most part: 1. they will be only a few at best; 2. each of them will be unique; 3. once they are gone they cannot be replenished. All these items reflect, one way or another, some aspect of the Romanian cultural heritage - and its appreciation for the creativity, uniqueness, imperfections and charm of hand crafted wares over the monotony and volumes of the assembly lines.Thank you for visiting our store, we appreciate your interest and business!
