Mikasa Crystal Blue Swirl Art Glass Bowl, Modernist Design

Offered is a refined late-20th-century Mikasa Crystal art glass bowl, executed in clear crystal with bold cobalt-blue spiral ribbon inclusions. The form is elongated and gently lobed, with a continuous rotational movement that creates strong optical depth and light refraction—hallmarks of Mikasa’s higher-end decorative crystal production. The bowl is substantial and weighty for its size, with thick walls and deeply molded channels that capture and bend light dramatically across the surface. The blue trails are fully cased within the glass, not surface-applied, indicating quality hot-worked production rather than pressed or mass-market decorative glass. When displayed, the piece casts crisp, sculptural shadows, enhancing its visual presence. A fading original Mikasa Crystal paper label remains affixed to the base (documented in close-up photographs). The design language aligns with Mikasa’s modernist and transitional decorative glass output from the late 20th century, produced for the upscale international market and intended as functional sculpture. This piece presents beautifully as a low-profile centerpiece, vide-poche, or standalone display object and integrates seamlessly into modern, postwar, or contemporary interiors. ⸻ Measurements • Width: 6 1/2 inches • Length: 9 1/8 inches • Height: 1 inch • Weight: 1.512 lbs ⸻ Condition Very good vintage condition.
