Volcanic bowl
The artefact
This satinized black glass bowl is decorate with contrasting shades of red, orange, and light blue. Made with the glass fusion technique, it is decorated with glass powder, frits of different colour and granulometry. The choice of the matte black finish provides a superficial effect similar to bucchero pottery, while the use of different grain sizes offers sophisticated transparency and opacity.
