Some hold keys. This one holds the entire room hostage with its colour. This is a \u003cstrong\u003eDécor Cristallerie blue glass bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e, made in Italy around 1960, and it is the kind of piece that makes you realise the Italians were simply not playing fair when it came to mid-century glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a deep, saturated cobalt blue that shifts to a lighter, almost electric blue at the rim — where the glass thins out into a spectacular chain-link border of interlocking clear glass loops. It is the sort of decorative detail that looks impossibly delicate for pressed glass, and yet here it is, intact and perfect after more than sixty years. The interior is covered in a dense swirling rib pattern that catches the light from every angle, with a central starburst of elongated leaf-shaped facets spiralling outward from the base. In sunlight, it is frankly unreasonable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original gold foil label is still present on the base: \u003cem\u003e\"Made in Italy by Décor Cristallerie\"\u003c\/em\u003e — which is both a provenance and a flex. Use it as a fruit bowl, a centrepiece, a conversation starter, or simply as proof that 1960s Italian design was operating on a different level entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,370 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue pressed glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Décor Cristallerie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition — original label present, no chips or cracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e This bowl will immediately become the most photographed object in your home.
