This is for the exquisite Glass Bowl Model 1639, a true masterpiece by visionary designer Max Ingrand, crafted with precision by Fontana Arte in Italy in 1960. This exceptional bowl, fashioned from thick grey-colored crystal glass, captivates with its bold triangular form, enhanced by subtle asymmetry that creates a dynamic interplay of lines and curves. A hallmark of its design is the meticulously cut edge, which adds a refined visual and tactile elegance.
In excellent original condition, with slight surface wear that attests to its authenticity and age, the bowl exudes the timeless sophistication for which Fontana Arte is renowned. Each gentle imperfection tells a story, adding depth and character to its already striking presence. We have three identical bowls available in different colors, and when arranged together, they resemble the petals of a flower—a stunning visual composition. While each piece is priced and sold individually, the set of three creates an even more captivating statement.
Marked with the iconic FX signature along the outer rim, this bowl is a testament to Max Ingrand’s genius and the unparalleled craftsmanship of Fontana Arte. Featured in the 1960s Fontana Arte catalog, this design holds significant historical and artistic value, making it a coveted collector’s piece. A perfect blend of function and artistry, this bowl transcends trends, serving as a timeless accent for any interior. Whether displayed individually or as part of a set, it brings a touch of refined history and enduring beauty to your space.
